5 * Append no more than COUNT characters from the null-terminated string SRC
6 * to the null-terminated string DST. Always null-terminate the new DST.
8 * This differs slightly from the semantics in libc in that we never write
9 * past count, whereas libc may write to count+1. This follows the generic
10 * implementation in lib/string.c and is, IMHO, more sensible.
