Hey,

Thanks for the response.
Will test out your patch & come back.

After submitting mine, there was a similar discussion on one of the
Github threads [to use strncpy()/strlcpy()].

A few questions:
1) would strlcpy(d,s,len) be better [here & in general] ?  [since it
guarantees a null-char at the end of `len`] ?
1a) maybe it could be considered to replace strncpy() in more places
[where the case is appropriate]
2) any thoughts on sanitizing the use of ULOGD_MAX_KEYLEN ? ; general
gist of it would be #define ULOGD_MAX_KEYLEN 32  and remove any
`ULOGD_MAX_KEYLEN+1`  or   `ULOGD_MAX_KEYLEN-1` ; which sort of seemed
confusing ; and combined with strlcpy() it should give an overall more
robust approach

Thanks
Alex
