Since this is in the header, isn't the point that it doesn't need to be
null-terminated?
When printing we're careful to use:
"%.*s", IH_NMLEN, ...
so I think the warning is wrong here - we want both of the strncpy()
behaviours that are normally considered strange:
- it's okay not to null terminate as this is an explicitly sized field
- we want to pad the whole field with zeroes if the string is short
