This is a very good catch. Thx for this!! I'll correct here and double
check all the other places where I'm trying to replace the memset with a
enumeration element. Just to make sure that I don't have an "off by one"
like the one here.

Yes, we still need to set the procname to NULL in this patchest!. We are
introducing the ARRAY_SIZE but not actually using it (not yet). Keeping
the "procname == NULL" stopping criteria allows us to keep the current
behavior while we introduce the size in the background. We will start
using the patchset in the upcoming patchsets.

Thx for the feedback
