Hello Doug
can you please split the code into 2 parts?
I suspect both strnlen and strndup have similar bugs that are summing up
by combinning them
can you just strndup a string and print it, then strnlen it?
this way we can see the bugs separately and maybe spot out a checkable
pattern.

Thanks,
Simo.
