While these warnings are false positives, the use of strdup() instead of
malloc() and strcpy() simplifies and clarifies the code.
While checking the remaining uses of strcpy and strcat I noticed an
assignment of a strlen() to a variable "s", whose value needs to be
preserved for use in later output routines (where it is used to allocate
a buffer). I do not think that the value of "s" will come out lower than
its correct value and thus there is no risk of a buffer overflow, in the
general case, but a specially crafter argument might lead to an overflow.
The bogus assignment to "s" is removed since this value was only used a
single time in the following malloc() call, which has been removed.
