Comment (by fhgwright):

 It turns out that `stpncpy` is the only function affected by this
 ''particular'' form of collision, though not for the reason that Ken
 implied.  There are four `string.h` functions provided by `legacy-support`
 prior to 10.7.  There are ten `string.h` functions with "secure" wrappers
 in the 10.7 SDK.  But only `stpncpy` is in the intersection between those
 two sets.

 Actually editing in the one-line fix probably indeed took less that five
 minutes, but determining the fix took longer, determining that the fix was
 only relevant to `stpncpy` took longer, verifying that the fix actually
 fixed the problem took longer, and of course testing the result on all the
 platforms took longer.
