Using 2.0.42...
The modules.tex file claims that packets containing variable-length
names (i.e. M_WINDOW_NAME, M_ICON_NAME, M_RES_CLASS, M_RES_NAME) will be
zero-padded to fill out the last long word.
This does not appear to be the case; I am finding stray characters
attached to the end of these packets, as well as in M_ERROR and
M_CONFIG_INFO packets (which also contain variable-length names).
The fault would appear to be in SendName() in modules.c, which obtains
the memory via safemalloc() and merely does a strcpy() into it; this
fails to zero out the 'padding' bytes.
Should be trivial to fix...
(BTW, M_ICON_FILE and M_DEFAULTICON are currently undocumented in
modules.tex.)
