Think C 4.01 also has a bug in strncpy:

char s1[10];
char s2[20] = "A long string";

strncpy(s1, s2, 8);

s1 will not have a '\0' appended to the end. So far as I can tell this
is not per the standard definition.

Also sizeof returns an int, but malloc and calloc require size_t! This
is hidden on a none highlighted single line of text... Caused me great
pain to find this...
