Subject: siege: off-by-one in load_conf()

Description:
Siege is an http load testing and benchmarking utility.

During the test of a webserver, I hit a segmentation fault. I recompiled 
siege with ASan and it clearly show an off-by-one in load_conf(). The issue 
is reproducible without passing any arguments to the binary.
The complete output:
