Summary: Bug fix for read_config_read_octet_string()

Initial Comment:
read_config_read_octet_string() is able to allocate the memory in which its result will be stored but does not properly terminate this string. The attached patch fixes this. Found this via BoundsChecker -- this tool reported a past-end-of-buffer access while parsing USM data.
