I just hate to look like an idiot in front of thousands, but this 
morning's posting of string routines is going to accomplish exactly
that.  I didn't try linking (out of the library) four routines that
I changed just recently.  Naturally, I got bitten by my oversight.
A slight code rearrangement is needed to placate asld.  Here are
the context diffs for the routines that will cause problems.

My profuse apologies.
