I think the reason nobody raised this is that the return value of
"memcpy" is, in most cases, singularly useless; if I'd wanted the value
of the first argument to "memcpy", I would have used it directly.  I
cannot remember *ever* having used either the return value of "memcpy"
*or* the return value of "strcpy" in any code I've written.
