/* stpncpy -- copy no more then N bytes from SRC to DEST, returning the
	      address of the terminating '\0' in DEST.
For Intel 80x86, x>=3.
Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Contributed by Ulrich Drepper <drepper@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
Some bug fixes by Alan Modra <Alan@SPRI.Levels.UniSA.Edu.Au>
  - original wrote n+1 chars in some cases.
  - stpncpy() ought to behave like strncpy() ie. not null-terminate
    if limited by n.  glibc-1.09 stpncpy() does this.
