Yes.  The current strlcpy() implementation in Syslinux is broken,
missing the fix in the above commit.  Likewise strlcat(), and some other
(mostly string-) functions at least.  Some of the bugs could be fixed by
incorporating the respective files from the current klibc source, but
I'm not sure how hpa wishes to manage his parallel code bases, so I
decided to ask first.
