I get involved with helping people debug C code from time to time, and the
bug in the above code occurs frequently. I.e., the line should be:
	memmove(dest, src, strlen(src) + 1);
I'm pointing this out because it's such a common bug that it's one of the
things I routinely look for. Remember:
	static char src[] = "abc";
	sizeof(src) == 4
	strlen(src) == 3
