People tinkering with the string functions might want to note the version
I contributed to comp.sources.unix quite a while ago.  It's highly portable,
although generally not optimal for a specific machine.  More to the point,
though, is that it includes a 650-line test program that turns all the
functions upside-down and shakes vigorously, in hopes that bugs will fall
out.  You may want the test program even if you don't want the portable
string functions (which are a complete SysV/BSD/X3J11 set, although they
are not up-to-date with recent changes to X3J11).
