Adding replace_str=0 environment variable to ASAN_OPTIONS. This is a workaround for AMD proprietary driver that prevents application with asan from running by having strcpy-param-overlap error somewhere in closed source fglrx_dri.so library. Note that errors for str* functions won't be catched, look for replace_str here: https://github.com/llvm-mirror/compiler-rt/blob/ea4f5b/lib/asan/asan_interceptors.cc . Big thanks to Kostya Serebryany (@kcc) for helping me with it!
