Two W=1 string related warnings.
- Using strncpy to copy string without null-termination generates a
  warning.  Use memcpy to copy only the relevant chars

- Fix a potential bug with a very long string, subtract one from the
  length to make room for the termination null.

 From lookign a the drive rcode, I assume that the code never touches 
the final byte in v86d_path. So it remains \0 indefinitely.
