DESCRIPTION
       This functions copies the null-terminated string `src' into a newly allocated area of memory, effectively duplicating it. Example:

	  void manipulate_string(const char *input_string)
	  {
	     char *temp_buffer = ustrdup(input_string);
	     /* Now we can modify temp_buffer */

       string.
