I guessed that, too;

but I still would like to point out than strlen
might be trivial, but strnlen isn't;
at least I've seen two different
platform where it didn't work correctly.

1. BS2000 calculated strnlen (ptr, maxlen) as
min (strlen (ptr), maxlen)

2. AIX 5.old gave very strange results:
strnlen("JV02B ",1)=3
strnlen("JV02B ",2)=2
strnlen("JV02B ",3)=1
strnlen("JV02B ",4)=0
