I've worked out a patch to rwall.c which null terminates mbuf before it is passed to clnt_create().
This fixes the problem in precise (12.04.4).
However, when I test in trusty (14.04 Beta2), the problem does not exist in the original rwall & rpc.rwalld, even though rwall & rpc.rwalld are the same package version (0.17-7) and rwall & rpc.rwalld have the same 'sum -r' as precise.

Darn, I assumed that because they were the same, the problem needed to be fixed.
I wonder what else has changed that fixed the problem...
