:why not call strlcpy instead of the SAFE_STRCPY macro that calls the
:sstrncpy and the strncpy?

    I didn't write SAFE_STRCPY.  Replacement is a good idea, but
    would be future work.

:Why not call asprintf/safe_asprintf here?

    Look a little down in the code, you will notice that it rewrites 
    the buffer.  asprintf only allocates what it needs, which may
    not be enough.

    (If I had written it I would have simply reallocated the buffer,
    but since I didn't.... this would be a future improvement to make).

:It would seem to me a good idea to make a v-version of this function,

    Under normal conditions, yes, but there is not a single line of code
    in sysinstall which uses varargs, and it only takes 10 seconds to
    add a v-version so we'll leave that for another pass (perhaps a
    later pass to get rid of all the static buffers).
