@Dan, @Jeff can you please comment on that too?

I had not seen that patch since it was posted while I was transitioning roles. It looks like a reasonable patch to me to handle FORTIFY_SOURCE restrictions.

Saw Dan's reply, and further looked at the patch and saw this wasn't actually a typical FORTIFY_SOURCE patch, so presumably this change is NOT needed.
