Yes, you either terminate sun_path with NUL and calculate the size with 
SUN_LEN, or you don't terminate it with NUL and calculate it yourself.

Using SUN_LEN is convenient for constant file names, and the latter 
approach can be used for the alloca thing where you know the exact size. 
 I just find "always use SUN_LEN" more convenient to remember :-)
