It should really use memmove(), but that's basically correct.  I fixed
this in my header a while ago, but it got left out when I posted the
last set of fixes.  I got bitten pretty badly by it as well :-)

This and several other bug reports (and FIXES, which is even better)
have recently been posted, many by Michal.  While it is somewhat of an
embarassment to have my mistakes ponited out in gory detail, I can put
my ego aside and simply be glad of two things.  The problems are being
fixed, so others won't have the same trouble, and people must actually
be using dLibs if they are finding bugs.  John Stanley has also privately
sent me a few bug reports, the latest on a problem with fullpath() in
qualifying '.'.  I'm not planning to post fixes myself, although others
can feel free to do so if they wish.  I'll be collecting these suggestion
up and reviewing them for inclusion in the 1.3 release to be posted with
the next release of Sozobon C (no, I don't know when that will be).
Until then, enjoy what does work, fix what doesn't and keep reporting bugs!

PS.  I'll be gone until the 30th of June at the X'hibition '89 conference.
