"man strncat" on my system says:

       char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

       ...

       If src contains n or more bytes, strncat() writes n+1 bytes to
       dest (n from src plus the terminating null byte).  Therefore,
       the size of dest must be at least strlen(dest)+n+1.
