| Actually the way strncat is used here is broken anyway, it does not
| prevent array overrun.  The third argument of strncat only limits the
| amount of characters copied, without taking into account the length of
| the string already in the buffer.  Consequently gcc has optimized the
| call to strncat into a simple call to strcat, since none of the copied
| strings are longer than sizeof(msgbuf).  This strcat call is then
| expanded to include a call to strlen.
| 
| So a better fix would probably be to make msgbuf big enough and use
| strcat instead.

Thanks Andreas, I'll fix it.
