The qpopper port maintainer _can_ and _should_ patch qpopper,
as well as reporting the bug to the software vendor.

I chose to hide strlcpy/strlcat anyway because I am far from certain
that qpopper is the only application supplying its own (working or
not) implementations.  We don't want to call those from within libc,
ever.  It is too risky.

Cheers,
