Ensure we handle len == 0 in ERR_err_string_n
If len == 0 in a call to ERR_error_string_n() then we can read beyond the end of the buffer. Really applications should not be calling this function with len == 0, but we shouldn't be letting it through either! Thanks to Agostino Sarubbo for reporting this issue.
