It looks a bug in this implementation of strlcpy() then.

sizeof(name) is 15.

If you use strncpy(X, uaddr->sa_data, 15) , then you might access
uaddr->sa_data[14] and this would still be wrong, since sa_data has 14
bytes only :


struct sockaddr {
  sa_family_t sa_family;
  char        sa_data[14];
};


So I do not believe your patch is right.
