Log Message:
-----------
When using C-string lookup keys in a dynahash.c hash table, use strncpy()
not memcpy() to copy the offered key into the hash table during HASH_ENTER.
This avoids possible core dump if the passed key is located very near the
end of memory.  Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.
