Yes, this discussion started out on freebsd-security and when I first
wrote about it, I mentioned the paper at USENIX by Todd Miller and Theo de
Raadt. It was later mentioned that the paper and accompanying slides are
available at:
http://www.openbsd.org/papers/strlcpy-paper.ps
http://www.openbsd.org/papers/strlcpy-slides.ps
I think each function is well thought out and I think they'd be a great
addition to FreeBSD.
