Created attachment 376898
Patch for the problem described, replacing strcpy with memmove.

Description of problem:
This is a bug against etags.emacs which is packaged in emacs-common, but there 
is no separate component called emacs-common.  This same bug exists in 
etags.xemacs, packaged in xemacs-common.

When etags is run with filenames starting with "./", it normalizes them
to start without "./", but does so incorrectly, messing up the result.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
emacs-common-23.1-13.fc12.x86_64
xemacs-common-21.5.29-8.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file with a C function and path e.g. src/gdk/gdk_atoms.c
2. Run /usr/bin/etags.emacs ./src/gdk/gdk_atoms.c
3. Observe the filename in TAGS
  
Actual results:
The filename recorded in the TAGS file is src/gdk/gdk_otoms.c (note "o" after 
underscore).

Expected results:
The filename should be src/gdk/gdk_atoms.c

Additional info:
The problem is a call to strcpy on overlapping buffers.  In Fedora 11 and 
before that seems to have worked, but in Fedora 12 it often does not work, at 
least not for slightly longer filenames.

The attached patch should also work for etags.xemacs in xemacs-common,
except for differing line numbers.

I cannot reproduce it on 32-bit Fedora, but the usage of strcpy in the
code is clearly wrong. Moreover, this bug is already fixed in the
upstream CVS.
