Have you actually read the damn thing?  Seriously, look at the uses
of 'str' downstream.  The only thing it is ever passed to is strcmp().

In other words, why do we need to copy it anywhere?  What's wrong with
having char *str instead of that array and replacing strcpy() with
plain and simple pointer assignment?
