Please, ignore this (stupid Friday evening) quesiton.

Although the use of sizeof() is right thing, FC_SYMBOLIC_NAME_SIZE
is so ubiquotous in this source that it probably makes sense to
address in a separate cleanup.

@Steffen, @Benjamin, could you please comment in this and below?

Not sure if this check is really needed. It could have been done
for strlcpy() also, but as you say - should not ever happen.

Thanks!
