Tonight, on a world compiled from last night's sources, mdconfig(8)
started dumping cores for me.  The stack trace was:

#0  0x080491da in strsep ()
#1  0x08048961 in list (fd=3) at /usr/src/sbin/mdconfig/mdconfig.c:219
#2  0x080487cc in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfbffaf0) at
    /usr/src/sbin/mdconfig/mdconfig.c:176
#3  0x08048139 in _start ()

Does the following look a reasonable change?  It seems that strsep()
starts getting angry when fed a non-nul-terminated buffer.
