This function shouldn't fail because all callers of
__dl_argv_handle_port() make sure the passed string contains enough
slashes already, but better make sure if this changes in future the
function won't access uninitialized data.

Ok, but please don't go too far down the dead end of addressing all possible
"if code changes in the future this would be a bug". Keep to finding
and fixing the real bugs that exist today.
