Don't rely on your libc, ever, especially when writing a 'secure' portable
program,  take the needed functions from OpenBSD's libc source tree, I trust them ;)

Or better yet, where using str[n]cpy and the like, use strlcpy, also from
the OpenBSD guys ;)

When writing anything, which is supposed to be remotely 'secure' don't
rely on anything or any one.
