The strnstr() function takes a length, and can thus be safely used on buffers which contain no NUL byte. On Tiger and earlier, strnstr() had a bug where it could read one byte past the length specified, which could cause a crash in certain circumstances. Had a grand old time tracking that one down, I did. It was eventually fixed in a security update, and I believe it was fixed in Leopard from the start.
