skill: Properly null-terminate buf in check_proc().

Browse Source 
Right now, if read() returns less than 127 bytes (the most likely case),
the end of the "string" buf will contain garbage from the stack, because
buf is always null-terminated at a fixed offset 127. This is especially
bad because the next operation is a strrchr().

Also, make sure that the whole /proc/PID/stat file is read, otherwise
its parsing may be unsafe (the strrchr() may point into user-controlled
data, comm). This should never happen with the current file format (comm
is very short), but be safe, just in case.
