Dang, I would've really liked to see these strncpy()'s dealt with [1]! The warning is there because that specific usage of strncpy is plain wrong. strncpy() is a string api and this usage looks like it has arguments and results not resembling C-strings. Not sure if turning off correct warnings is the right call.
