SubjectMinor bug in lib/string.c

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.
