Just to check I got your suggestions right:

...
+       if (!memcmp(buf, exp_result, strnlen(exp_result, sizeof(buf) - 1) + 1))
+               return;
+
+       /* NULL terminate buf right after the expected '\0' */
+       buf[strnlen(exp_result, sizeof(buf) - 2) + 1] = '\0';
...

Alternatively, we could have avoided strnlen() by asserting
strlen(exp_result) < sizeof(buf) - 1 at the very beginning.
