Hi,
I didn't know were else to send this. The Linux docs say if I'm total clueless, send it here. :)
I found a minor bug in lib/string.c, in the strncpy() function. These two lines need to be added after the first while loop.
while(count--) *dest++ = '\0';
ANSI says strncpy() needs to have the destination string null padded to 'count' bytes if the source string has ended.
