It wasn't talloc_append_string() that caused the problem,
but the length calculation in talloc_asprintf_append().

I changed talloc_asprintf_append() to use strlen in the
length calculation, and now all my smbtorture tests pass
as talloc_asprintf_append() is doing what it's name would
suggest. If this gets reverted I'll have to remove all
use of talloc_asprintf_append() from the fileserving code,
as in it's original state it doesn't work with talloced
strings that have been truncated deliberately. I think
that's a bug as it's definately not what it's name
would suggest and violates the principle of least
suprises for the programmer.
