Apples vs oranges, in my opinion. I prefer the approach taken in the
patch. Is there a clear argument to go with the NULL terminator?

perror() makes the error message more informative than it looks. I
don't see the value of printing the function name, this would imply
that you're going to look in the source code, in which case it is
obvious where the message came from.

I've made changes based on the other comments.

Thanks,
