strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous interfaces. The affected code's purpose is to truncate strings that are too long with "..." like: foobar -> fo... The lengths have been carefully calculated and as such this has decayed to a simple byte copy from one buffer to another -- let's use memcpy(). Note: build-tested only.
