Trac works fine, and I've just replied to you in the ticket.  
Here is a copy of the response:

No, your assumptions are wrong.  Strings in nginx are not expected 
to be null-terminated in general.  The ngx_pstrdup() function is 
expected to duplicate the string passed, exactly, and this is what 
it currently does.  The change to ngx_copy() is also wrong, you've 
missed dst++ in the loop.
