By passing a limit of 2 bytes to strncat, GCC 8 thinks that strncat is
limited to writing fewer bytes than what it's supposed to append to the
name here. However, strncat appends n+1 bytes to the destination, so this
is correct even though it doesn't look right.
Since the bounds are checked on the line above this, just remove the string
bounds checks entirely to silence the warning since they're unneeded.
