Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickm]:
 > What is the actual improvement here?
 When looking at the diff of the current version and the version Tor
 includes (see http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-
 bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/string/strlcat.c.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.16&f=h) we can
 see that the license is updated, the useless `rcsid` variable is removed,
 the register keyword isn't used anymore, variable names are more
 descriptive, more use of `const`, and some comments are improved. AFAICT
 functionality has not changed.

 I assume the TS thought there was a bug in the code, but i don't think it
 has (see comment:1).
