strlcpy() doesn't fill the rest of the array with zeroes, strncpy()
does.  This could matter (information leak, for example), although
I doubt it does here.

That last statement makes the strncpy() case always zero-terminated,
so this patch isn't necessary.  Oh, and neither the old nor the new
code handles the case where the string doesn't fit (other than just
cutting it short); is that the wanted behaviour?
