Greetings, everyone!

While analyzing output of Svace static analyzer [1] I've found a bug.

In function intoasc(interval * i, char *str) from file src/interfaces/ecpg/compatlib/informix.c we return a non-terminated string since we use memcpy on tmp which is itself NULL-teminated but
last zero byte is not copied.

The proposed solution is to use strcpy instead, since it is used in all other functions in informix.c.

The patch is attached.
