(few months later... I forgot I sent this patch, so I'm bring it again.)

I updated the patch; is it okay to commit, or should I bring back the 
buf==NULL check?

Hurd: fixes for ptsname and ptsname_r

ptsname_r on failure returns the value that is also set as errno; furthermore,
add more checks to it:
- set errno and return it on __term_get_peername failure
- set errno to ERANGE other than returning it
- change the type of PEERNAME to string_t, and check its length with __strnlen

In ptsname:
- change the type of PEERNAME to string_t
- do not set errno manually, since ptsname_r has set it already

2012-11-19  Pino Toscano  <toscano.pino@tiscali.it>

	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/ptsname.c (ptsname): Change the type of PEERNAME to
	string_t.  Do not manually set errno.
	(__ptsname_r): Change the type of PEERNAME to string_t, and check its
	length with __strnlen.  Make sure to both set errno and return it on
	failure.
