Adrian, newer compilers are better at finding bugs - you may want to read the full trace of the error, it tells you that you likely have a memory overflow when using strncpy() in your package. You should check whether it is right. Unfortunately we can’t help you more specifically, because I don't see any link to what you submitted so can’t look at the code involved.
