It means that you built your glibc with some weird debugging mode,
and it converts

    strcpy(array, string);

into some sort of

    strcpy_with_overrun_check(array, sizeof(array), string);

In this case, it blew up despite code was correct.

It also makes all your strcpy's bigger.

Which version of glibc does this? With which configure options
did you built it?
