I blew it, apologies to all. No excuse given. This is not unsafe for the
application specified, though, which was a fixed array of strings(aasuming
a calling convention of StrEq(a[i],b[i])). There are many ways to optimize
a solution to a specific problem that would fail in other cases.
Once again, sorry.
