Use memcpy in getBridge to prevent gcc warnings about truncated
strings. We know that we might truncate it, so the gcc warning
here is wrong.
Revert previous change changing buffer sizes as bigger buffers
are not needed.

I think you want min(NAME_MAX, resultLen - 1) for the length.

true, I will fix that and send a v2.

Hmm, maybe you should use

min(strnlen(de->d_name, NAME_MAX), resultLen - 1)

for the case that de->d_name is near the end of a page, as otherwise
you could try to copy unallocated space.
