Look in include/includes.h starting from line 585.  Various string
related routines (such as strcat, strcpy, sprintf) have been disabled
(using cpp #defines) to prevent security holes from buffer overruns
springing up.

Try replacing the strcat() calls with pstrcat(), although this might
introduce some truncation errors depending on the length of the
strings being operated on.
