Description:
mi_test3.c line 366 does
strmov(record.text,"Testing...");
which is one more byte than will fit in the 10-byte buffer.

This is probably not too critical because of padding rules, but it ought to be fixed, if only to shut up the automated warnings I'm getting ...

How to repeat:
Read code.

Suggested fix:
Enlarge record.text[]
