When I compile my app on Snow Leopard and run it on Leopard, strncat

How is this a Cocoa question? (Hint: it isn't, so you've sent your
question to the wrong mailing list.)
I think there was a bug in the Leopard version of strncat that was
fixed in the Snow Leopard version.

(note the removed dstlen++)
Since it's a relatively simple problem, however, a workaround might be
to make your destination buffer one character larger?
Kind regards,
Alastair.
