Christian/Eric -

Thank you both so much for taking time on this.  Christian had pointed out the use of memcpy vs strncpy.  It turns out that while strncpy is designed to copy a specific number of chars, it turns out that it stops on null.  I did make the change Christian suggested however, it turns out that strncpy was also used in the decrypt function which was also subject to the same problem.
