You will definitely want to initialise 'top.name' here, rather than let it take whatever value happens to be at that position on the stack. In your editor, search for 'cf->name' and contemplate each such occurrence.

Does the 'include' facility work from a strbuf? Should it?
Are you happy with the error handling/reporting?

Do the above additions to the test-suite give you confidence that the code works as you intend?
