ugh, sorry not trailing newline, I meant trailing \0. The problem isn't
the kzalloc, the target has the space. It is the source @new. It is
dangerous to assume that the @new buffer has a null byte after its
declared length. Which is potentially what we are doing if @new
doesn't have an embedded null byte. In that case strlen(new, newlen)
will then return newlen and we add 1 to it.

which means in the memcpy we are copying an extra byte beyond what
was declared to exist in @new.
