I want to start again the discussion to include strlcpy and strlcat in

Technical progress in other areas has rendered this old proposal even
less attractive than it was before. My laptop now supports gcc

attacks more conveniently and systematically. Why not see how these
approaches play out, and in the meantime let strlcpy's sleeping dogs lie?
