Author here. And yes, that's a bug. I recently restored most of the pages on my website, and didn't check whether each page was the most recent version. When I first wrote the HOWTO, I for some reason was under the impression that the 'write' system call required the address of the length of the string to be loaded in EDX, which is obviously a bit silly. You're right that EDX should just hold the value 13. I'll change this as soon as I get the time.
