A static analyzer identified as a potential bug the copy of 12 bytes from a 6 bytes array to a 6 bytes array. Both arrays are 6 bytes addresses. Although not being a real bug, it is not immediately clear why is done this way: next 6 bytes address, contiguous to the first one, must also be copied to next contiguous 6 bytes address of the destination. Copying each one separately will make both static analyzers and reviewers happier.

Hello, About 3 weeks ago I sent this patch, just with a small style change proposal. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Íñigo Huguet
