Summary: Changes strncpy to memcpy for opt

Initial Comment:
This patch replaces uses of strncpy with memcpy where 
appropriate.

strncpy incurs the overhead of checking for a 
premature '\0' ending to the string.  In cases where 
we know where the string terminates (e.g., we have 
performed a strlen) memcpy can safely replace strncpy.
