I tried a build using the undefined behavior sanitizer, and gcc gave
this error:

This patch fixes the problem by subtracting one from the length
parameter to strncpy.
I changed a couple of other similar functions -- gcc does not warn
about these, but I didn't see any substantial difference between the
different cases, and I think these are just latent warnings, to be
triggered in the future by a change to inlining heuristics.
