I'm running on the latest bpf-next master, but I don't think it's
related to bprintf change.

Can you please also clean up unnecessary ()s you added in at least a
few places. Thanks.

Yes, it helps. I can't repro it easily anymore. I think the right fix,
though, should be to filter by tid, not change the tracepoint.

I think what's happening is we see the string right before bstr_printf
does zero-termination with end[-1] = '\0'; So in some cases we see
truncated string, in others we see untruncated one.
