    memcpy.3: remove BUGS section allowing overlapping strings
    
    The removed text claimed that memcpy is implemented using bcopy and thus
    strings may overlap.  Use of bcopy is an implementation detail that is
    no longer true, even if the implementation (on some archs) does allow
    overlap.
    
    In any case behaviour is undefined per the C standard if memcpy is
    called with overlapping objects, and this man page already claimed that
    src and dst may not overlap.
