(ITS#6474) test004 (hdb) crashes when slapd is compiled with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

gcc 4.5 will do some stricter checks for buffer overflows when compiling with 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. Current HEAD aborts in test004-modify with:

*** buffer overflow detected ***:

There is no real buffer overflow here AFAICS but the real problem is, that the
destination of the strcpy() is defined as char[1] in this case (it's the nrdn
member of a struct diskNode). The additional runtime check when compiling with 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 sees that the destination data will not fit in there and
aborts.
The easiest fix here (apart from not building with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2) is to
use memcpy instead of strcpy here. I'll submit that later today.
