...a friend told me how the Debian (faithfull) went through the source to do things like, update to newer function calls in routines, (example, "stringcopy", the newer implementation truncates the string to be copied so as not to be larger than the buffer being copied into, which would be a "buffer overrun". A buffer overrun can be used to compromise your system.

Is this security or stability?
