Being the same len doesn't mean it's safe to use strcpy ... the source
might be missing the 0 terminator. In this specific case though, I
believe the source string comes was itself populated with strlcpy
(at least since your patch 6b6680c4ea3952af8ae76915cbca41245147741b) so
strcpy is indeed safe but using strlcpy doesn't hurt does it ?
