There's another bullet waiting for a foot there. You have to be certain
your string is no longer than MAX_G_CHAR_SIZE or you could end up with a
hard to chase down segfault. This is the stuff buffer overflows are made
of.
You can insure the size either by putting a NULL at MAX_G_CHAR_SIZE-1 in
your string before you do your strcpy, or you could use one of the
non-standard strncpy functions. If strncpy is not included on your
version of UNIX, you might consider implementing it for personal use.
