THIS!

It would've been nice if C came with real string support, but it didn't. Instead, we're stuck mucking around with character arrays. All the built-in functions expect null-terminated strings, but many functions don't guarantee they'll generate these strings in all cases.

Look at strncpy. If the string you're copying fills the destination buffer completely, the function won't write the null terminator; the resulting string will blow up several C standard library functions.

If you're using null-terminated strings, it is your job to make damn sure those strings are always null-terminated.

C is an unsafe language. Get used to it.
