[PATCH] ngx_pstrdup() and ngx_copy() problems

[Sergey Matveychuk]

Yes, I wrong with ngx_copy.

But I see ngx_string_t data is passed to С functions. Just a first 
example I've found in ngx_open_file_wrapper():
fd = ngx_open_file(name->data, mode, create, access);

Where ngx_open_file() is a macro for open(2).
