You're printing out a 'char' with %02x, aren't you? And then the sign
extensions gives you six extra 'f' character every time the char is
negative.
If using %02x, make sure you use 'unsigned char', or "& 255".
Depending on just what is going on, the "nd->last.name" thing really
is probably a valid string. Strictly speaking it's not necessarily
NUL-terminated, though, and should be printed out to a maximum of
"nd->last.len" characters (but the whole path will be NUL-terminated,
so it's all ok, you just might print out more than one component)
