All the above 3 patches were already included in 5.16, i.e. * xscreensaver-demo does truncate http:// into http:/ * xscreensaver-demo now uses memmove instead of strcpy when source and destination overlaps, which will _perhaps_ fix some strange about "degraeve" into "degraee" and so on.

Interesting bug, but I don't see it with 5.20 on Debian. > I already contacted the author of xscreensaver directly, but he refuses to even read bug reports for a two year old version (understandable...)
