on most systems ... the read access beyond the end of a block of memory is almost
always safe, and the memcpy code is not used on any system I know of.
However, this *could* in theory have caused very very occasional segmentation
violations where the byte after the block of memory allocated for the string is also
beyond the block of memory that malloc allocated using brk()/sbrk()
