Thanks Nick.  I've inlined notes below.

So it appears that my system does not have strstr and we are using the
included implemementation;  however the above prototype is incorrect, and
should be replaced by:

DEF(strstr, char*, (s1, s2), char *s1 AND char *s2)

Which now builds correctly.  However...

Good advice.  I thought I got the latest by skipping down to the
bottom of the ftp listing; turns out I got 2.9 and not 2.13.  D'oh!

With the new sources the above bug does not occur.

Thanks,
