Use of strcat() against an uninitialized buffer would lead
to buffer overflow. This patch fixes it.

Thanks for report!

Can you also add a Fixes tag?

It would be better to have it like

	if (arg) {
		strcat(tmp, ",");
		strcat(tmp, name);
	} else
		strcpy(tmp, name);

Peter, does it fix your issue seen on ARMv7?
