Definitely.  strcpy() can be replaced with g_strlcpy().  strncpy() and 
the next line that always follows and reads something like 
hdr[VMSLINE_LENGTH-1] = '\0' can both be replaced with just g_strlcpy() 
as g_strlcpy() ensures there is a terminating NULL.

I believe g_strup/_strdown should be replaced by g_ascii_strup/_strdown, 
but I'm not positive.

Thanks!
