If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main
thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated.
E.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d
where %d is the thread number:
Before:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4ads 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name.
After:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
