ouch, 'length' :-)

clang provides a really nice error message:

kbuffer-parse.c:318:3: error: use of undeclared identifier 'lenght'; did you mean 'length'?
                lenght = 0;
                ^~~~~~
                length
kbuffer-parse.c:297:15: note: 'length' declared here
        unsigned int length;
                     ^
1 error generated.

I only had to test compile it :-)
