This looks dangerous to me. If the used length sizeof(str) is not correct, that should be fixed, but switching to strcmp() means we may run into problems if the buffer is not NUL terminated. Do we have a guarantee here thai it always ist?? The fact that strncmp() has been used before suggests otyherwise. Please double-check.
