Well, that's true, but I don't like making that kind of
assumption. Someone less knowledgable might decide to reuse the
function in a context where it's not safe. At any rate, I've
updated kris/util.c to use memccpy instead:

static void
strlcpy(char *to, const char *from, int l) {
        memccpy(to, from, '\0', l);
        to[l-1] = '\0';
}

Well, as I tend to use quite a bit of white space, that's not
exactly fair. At any rate, sic.c is only 215 lines, and util.c
is only the ugly crap that POSIX botches so badly that it
doesn't do much more than clutter the main code.

Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not
