Well, this was an interesting exposure to Alpha assembly.... a bug was
reported to Debian where strncpy would read past the end of the page on
Alpha systems, in some circumstances.  I tracked it down, and I extended
stratcliff.c to catch some more possible strncpy bugs.
I've applied the test case patch. rth will have at least to comment on the asm change. And please include a ChangeLog entry in future.
