Dang, I was reading the different str*cpy() functions and suggested
strscpy() and then forgot about it and blindly applied strlcpy()
blindly after the build warning report.  It'd be great to weed out the
useless ones.  These are places where truncation is fine.  Would the
right thing to do be adding (void) in front, which is kinda ugly?

Thanks.
