talking about stupid ...
using strcat instead of strcpy when the target string is known to be
empty is not too wise, but mostly irrelevant.
it is even less wise to use strcat/strcpy instead of memcpy when the
length of the source string is known in advance. but i guess this is
relatively insignificant compared to strcat()ing when the target string
is already quite long compared to the length of the source string.
