string ports hork on NUL's

[Dale P. Smith]

I was using a string port with guile-gd and the generated images were
always invalid.  The strncpy in st_write.c was stopping at the first NUL
(as strncpy is supposed to do).  Using memcpy seems to work nicely. 
Patch is below.

Are string ports supposed to limited like this?
