Not sure if the respective developers are aware of the problem, but
there are some occurances whereby people use Strncpy (or strncpy) with
strlen like this:
Strncpy(dest, src, strlen(src));
Instead of using the size of the destination buffer for the length
parameter.
The developers might aswell #undef strcpy and use it instead.
Just my 1 cents worth. =)
