Description

the SunOS4 binary compatibility uname intentionally overflows the nodename into the nodeext field (an extension of the nodename field, for weird compat reasons), and intentionally indexes past the end of nodename to null terminate nodeext.

Automated error checkers, such as compilers more recent than, say, 1989, hate this a lot.
