Avoid calling strlen() on a potentially unterminated string The src string may be unterminated and the call to strncpy() be terminated by reaching dest_size. Instead of calling strlen() on the src string, check if it has a NUL byte at the same position as the dest string -- if not, the string was truncated. Valgrind now gives thumbs up!
