There are some places where I use strncpy for a character array which
is *not* a null-terminated string.  What is the preferred alternative
for me?  I can suppress the problem when gcc complains about it using:

+       __u8    s_first_error_func[32] __nonstring;     /* function where the error happened */

But if we do a blanket deprecation, what should I use instead?
