Comment (by nickm):

 Here is a C file to reproduce the bug:
 {{{
 #include <string.h>

 int main(int argc, char **argv)
 {
  char a[300];
  char b[30];
  char c[300];

  memset(a, 'x', 299);
  a[299] = 0;
  memset(c, 'y', 299);
  c[299] = 0;

  b[0] = 0;
  strlcat(b, a, 300);

  b[0] = 0;
  strlcat(b, c, 300);

  return 0;
 }
 }}}

 Compile it with GCC on OSX 10.10, run it, and you'll get "Abort trap: 6".
 I believe 10.9 will have the same issue.
