Coverity complains that this can overflow. If we later increase the size
of one of the strings in the table, it could happen.
Adjust the code to protect against this.

Changes in v4:
- Add missing [] (tested)
Changes in v3:
- Adjust to deal with what strncpy() actually does (I think)
Changes in v2:
- Drop unwanted #include
