sizeof(test_path) returns the array size
and not the number of array elements.

These two fixes you sent belong to non-netfilter libnl subsystems. You

Is this already fixed in libnl upstream? I'm considering just doing a full 
merge.

This one has been fixed upstream.

(I wasn't even aware there's an upstream... I just tested
some cppcheck changes on the git trees I had on disc)
