Thanks. Heheh.
I didn't actually notice the reliance on the returned pointer. This is a
good example that even trivial changes need testing. (p = strncpy(...) was
changed to p = strlcpy(...), but strncpy() returns "char *" while strlcpy()
returns size_t, so the code fails compile-time testing provided error output
is noticed.)
A lesson that can be learned a surprising number of times and still not
entirely stick. Oh well :-).
Thanks,
