Right, I agree I have to revert to one byte size leading a non-NULL
terminated strings for extattr_list_file()

The question remain: how do we produce the Linux/MacOS X/FUSE flavor
with NUL terminated strings? It seems the best way is to add a flavor
argument to VOP_LISTEXTATTR and let the filesystem do the job. 

I have one concern though: I try to make all that stuff
(gluserfs/perfuse) working on netbsd-5, and modifying VOP_LISTEXTATTR
means a huge pull up.
