I'm not sure this is an improvement, but has this code ever been correct?
The buffer passed to sha256 is either:
        "AUTH_KEY"'\0'master_key
or
        "ENC_KEY"'\0'master_key
For short master_key the buffer is HASH_SIZE bytes and padded with zeros (ok).
However for long master_key the length is calculated using "AUTH_KEY" so
there is an additional trailing '\0' in the "ENC_KEY" case.
