mystring[sizeof(mystring)-1] = 0x00 ; following strncpy fixes the issue
by null terminating the string no matter what.

personnally, I think memcpy is safer than snrncpy because it makes it
obvious that the copy operation does not null terminate the string,
which must be done separately (or string handled as a descriptor type
with length stored elsewhere)
