Where does this happen?

I null-terminate parts of str in interpolate_string() but then revert
the change if the placeholder is invalid. If the string contains no valid
placeholders, it will be identical to the original. This is how all
rcfile code currently works, look at parse_next_word(), it does the
same null-termination to the same string modified by interpolate_string().
