    thanks for clarification, after poking to strlcpy():

 37                 }
 38         }
 39
 40         /* Not enough room in dst, add NUL and traverse rest of src. */
 41         if (nleft == 0) {
 42                 if (dsize != 0)
 43                         *dst = '\0';            /* NUL-terminate dst */
 44                 while (*src++)
 45                         ;
 46         }
 47
 48         return(src - osrc - 1); /* count does not include NUL */

I see the problem now. I was not aware of the implicit (stlen()) line 44,
(yes, entirely my ignorance).

your diff makes sense, it is OK by me now.

thanks and
regards
