ssh.com ssh-3.2.9.1 sftp server remote off by one

***ATTENTION***This has not been tested under reallife conditions***

ssh-3.2.9.1 which is available from http://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/
contains the same old rootd off by one bug as described bei isec.pl here:
http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0011-wu-ftpd.txt

The file ssh-3.2.9.1/lib/sshfilexfer/sshunixrealpath.c reads

/*
* char *ssh_realpath(const char *path, char resolved_path[MAXPATHLEN]);
*
* Find the real name of path, by removing all ".", ".." and symlink
* components.  Returns (resolved) on success, or (NULL) on failure,
* in which case the path which caused trouble is left in (resolved).
*
*/
char *ssh_realpath(const char *path, char *resolved)
{
 struct stat sb;
 int n, rootd, serrno;
...

...
/*
  * Join the two strings together, ensuring that the right thing
  * happens if the last component is empty, or the dirname is root.
  */
 if (resolved[0] == '/' && resolved[1] == '\0')
   rootd = 1;
 else
   rootd = 0;

 if (*wbuf)
   {
     if (strlen(resolved) + strlen(wbuf) + rootd + 1 > MAXPATHLEN) //

         errno = ENAMETOOLONG;
         goto err1;
       }
     if (rootd == 0)

     (void)strcat(resolved, wbuf);     /* XXX: strcat is safe */

ssh_realpath is called when theres an incoming SSH_FXP_REALPATH packet.
from sshfilexfers.c :

---snip---
case SSH_FXP_REALPATH:
     LOG(0, SSH_LOG_INFORMATIONAL, ("Received SSH_FXP_REALPATH"));

     /* Parse the REALPATH message. */
     if (ssh_decode_array(data, len,
                          SSH_FORMAT_UINT32, &id,
                          SSH_FORMAT_UINT32_STR, &name, NULL,
                          SSH_FORMAT_END) != len || len == 0)
       {
         ssh_warning("ssh_file_server_receive_proc: bad REALPATH");
         goto return_bad_status;
       }

     LOG(0, SSH_LOG_INFORMATIONAL, ("Resolving path to `%s'", name));

     if (ssh_realpath(name, resolved) == NULL)
       {
---snip---

old pure-ftpd and openssh versions contain the same code but thats
out of scope, just to mention ssh.com's opensource ssh because
it's unpatched and CURRENT.
