Here's the fix.

I'm not sure about the intent of that "for" loop, the rest (the two "while" loops later) does the job perfectly. The only thing I can think of is removing trailing '\0' characters, if any. For that purpose, it was off by one, looking at the wrong character, always removing the last one.

I agree that that loop can be removed.
