[openbeos] string.h and security

Over winter break, I heard from someone that memcpy and other
memory-copying functions had security issues -- is anyone else aware of
this, and are we using posix code which is architecturally secure/based on
the secure versions?  Since BeOS/NewOS isn't "really" a *nix, is it prone
to the same problems?

Just curious
