Summary

A string array is represented by a set of nul-terminated strings
concatenated together. For each string, we check to see if there's a
nul terminator at the end, taking care to avoid going past the end of
the buffer. However, the code fails to handle the possibility that
size == 0 at the end of an iteration, leading to underflow.

Fix the length check.
