PATCH: zshaddhistory hook can get unterminated string

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>]

There are now hook functions called when a history line is about to be
saved.  I've seen these getting garbage at the end of the argument
passed in, which is the line about to be processed for saving.  This is
presumably because the history line hasn't been terminated.  I haven't
verified that fixing this makes the problem go away (it's intermittent),
but it seems like the right thing to do anyway.
