You want to use __string() here, otherwise you are wasting a lot of
buffer space.

		__string( msg, msg)

Not to mention, the above is a bug. As the msg being passed in, is
highly unlikely to be 255 bytes. You just leaked all that memory after
the sting to user space.

Where you want here:

		__assign_str( msg, msg );
