I have been chasing this bug around, and I just don't get it. Have I forgotten some basic C or something?

```
==28357== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==28357==    at 0x4C261E8: strlen (mc_replace_strmem.c:275)
==28357==    by 0x4E9280A: puts (ioputs.c:36)

==28357==    by 0x400AAD: acceptInput (myshell.c:60)
==28357==    by 0x4009CF: main (myshell.c:33)
==28357==  Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation

==28357==    by 0x4009CF: main (myshell.c:33)
==28357==

(095) void handlePath(char *input) {
(096)     if(DEBUG_ON) { printf("%s%s\n", "DEBUG_HANDLEPATH: ", input); }
(097)
(098)     char *inputCopy = NULL;
(099)     inputCopy = (char *)malloc((strlen(input)+1)*sizeof(char));
(100)
(101)     if(inputCopy==NULL) {
(102)         die("malloc() failed in handlePath()");
(103)     }
(104)     strncpy(inputCopy, input, strlen(input)*sizeof(char));
(105)     printf("%s\n", inputCopy);
(106)     free(inputCopy);
(107)     return;
(108) }

```

Line 96 prints the parameter "char \*input" just fine (DEBUG\_ON==1), but line 105 spits out valgrind errors (it does print just fine in the console). "char \*input" originates from a getline() grabbing a line of input, and in the case of this function will be something like "path /test/path" without quotes. I can print and manipulate it just fine in preceding functions. What's uninitialized about "char \*inputCopy"? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
