Like I just said, IT DOESN'T.  In fact, String.cc contains

	inline static int slen(const char* t) // inline  strlen
	{
	  if (t == 0)
	    return 0;
	  else
	  {
	    const char* a = t;
	    while (*a++ != 0);
	    return a - 1 - t;
	  }
	}

Now, it's difficult to know if this is ever actually used as strlen, but
it sure looks to me like it says "int".

Wouldn't it be silly of Sun to have their headers say unsigned long when their
library function still returns an int?
