String handling and manipulation need to get an overhaul.

johan.wikman I think this should be a task rather then a story.

I foresee that this actually will consist of several task, but for now this is more of a placeholder.

In that case you can have subtask under this task. Story is a higher level concept that explains a use case.

All of these issues will not be fixed in 1.4.0.

Strncpy and strncat usage has been fixed.
