Use pstrcpy() instead of strncpy().  It is guaranteed to NUL-terminate
strings.

There was a long discussion 1 year ago with it, and Eric suggested to use strpadcpy after the assert() and I sent this patch:

Not sure what's best.

strncpy() pads the tail, guaranteeing that for our fixed-size buffer, we guarantee the contents of all bytes in the buffer. pstrcpy() does not (but pstrcpy() can be followed up with a memset() to emulate the remaining effects of strncpy() - at which point you have reimplemented strpadcpy).

Can we guarantee that the padding bytes have been previously set to 0, or do we need to go the extra mile with a memset() or strpadcpy() to guarantee that we have set the entire buffer?
