My guess is that your tftp server correctly appends \0 to the error
message and atftpd does not. Strange. Having a look at atftpd source
code I suspect that its use of strncpy for the error message is the
cause, but I think u-boot should not rely on the trailing \0, because
the length of the error message is known anyway. I'll report when I have
been able to test it.
