No, it doesn't solve it, you still get a non-terminated string.

And looking at the old code... I wonder if the whole Python interface
is coded like that.

  BLI_strncpy( self->name, name, strlen( name ) + 1 );

What in god's name does strncpy(bleh,blah,strlen(blah)+1) do
differently to strcpy(bleh,blah) ?
