Why strncmp and not just strcmp? And why 20? AFAIK
strlen("/usr/bin/pygrub") == 15 or 16 or so...
ISTR in the past build processes throwing warnings that strcmp() is
unsafe, and since warnings turn to errors, pre-emptively used the "safe"
version instead.
Boggle.  Any such build processes need to be taken out and shot.
There is nothing wrong with strcmp.  Are you sure you're not thinking
of strcat or sprintf ?
Perhaps, or strcpy. At any rate, it compiles just fine with strcmp(), so I'll include that in the next post.
