I've fixed a few as well in the past and now :P
The problem with these ones is that I'm not sure if these are really
null terminated strings, since some of this goes into the kernel via
netlink. So I avoided using jamstr() which assumes null terminated
strings.
But I'm happy to override strcpy() into something guaranteeing a compile
failure :)
