Fix a memory access and a double slash bug.
* src/engine-spawn.c (engspawn_start): Allocate space for list terminator. * src/posix-util.c (walk_path): Fix trailing slash detection. -- Kudos to Valgrind for pointing out these two problems. The first is a plain allocation bug in a code pattern I have written thousands of times - this time it went wrong. The allocation is not user controlled thus not directly exploitable. The second is missed to do what it intended to do. Found due to the access of malloced but not initialized memory. Not using calloc again proved to be helpful to detect logical error.
