[PATCH] Fix off-by-one invalid memory access

Hi,

I find that the xfce_mkdirhier() function accesses p[1] even if p[0] has
been detected to be the end of the string. Here follows a simple patch
to remedy this error.

Kind regards,
Vegard Nossum


P.S. The "Development" link at http://www.xfce.org/development/ actually
points to the "goodies-dev" mailing list, which I believe is wrong. So
there was a bit of confusion finding the correct mailing list.
