Very nice work!

Your change looks fine: set "buf" to account for potentially-moved
allocation, just as is done on three other lines above.
However, I couldn't help but notice this nonsense right after the line
you inserted:

          if (err == REG_NOMATCH)
            continue;
        }

That is an "if (...) continue;" just before the closing brace of a
for-loop. Those two lines constitute a no-op and should be removed,
though not as part of your change.
