Hmm, I don't think this is an improvement :(

If you know the length of the string, then memcpy() is usually the right
function to use. I think this is clearer, and it is definitely more
efficient.

The strlcpy() function is for cases where the code does not know the
length. The receiving buffer typically has a fixed length and overflow
either leads to an error condition or silent truncation. (In the latter
case, a security problem might still result.)

Note that this is the reasoning of the glibc people why they do not want
strlcat/strlcpy. I think these functions are acceptable but should be
used with care, not as a panacea against all buffer overflows.

:(

Note that this code may not be safe if fg->len comes from an untrusted
user, as fg->len + 1 is 0 if fg->len == SIZE_MAX. This is not the case
if fg->len is an actual length from strlen() or similar.

:(

Alternatively, consider strndup() here.

This part seems an improvement. The length came from strlen() anyway.

Why do the buffer sizes differ here? Also, this can be a memcpy plus a
'\0' write instead of a strlcpy.
