Notice p was returned from a mod_privdata_alloc which is more than big
enough.  Not to mention, as someone pointed out, that strlen() can't
possibly be what you meant.

Nic's patch also did not fix the problem, here.  Attached is one that
did.

There's a couple other places in ProFTPd which strike me as, if not
insecure, at least insufficiently paranoid; I'll pass along a patch for
those to proftpd-l later.
