In fact, this should be fixed by making it a reference to stpcpy().

... which is the function I was looking for when I stumbled across the 
missing strpcpy() reference. Thanks for finding it for me :-)

I grep'd for any other misleading references to strpcpy() and can't see 
any, so I'll follow up with a revised (tiny) patch, and an extra reference 
in string(3).

[PATCH 2/2] string.3: Reference stpcpy(3)

[Mark Hills]

This function is a variant of strcpy(3). Even though it is lesser-used
it appears at the top alphabetically because of its unusual name.

Okay -- so in the light of your other report, this report is obsolete. Right?
