Bug report for:    libiberty/strstr.c      in gdb-4.4

Platform:          all platforms.  this is just an error.

Description:       The following construction is used, in which
                   anything *other than* an exact match (of s2 in s1)
                   causes `stuff' to be executed.  This is clearly
                   different from the authors intention.

                       if ( strcmp(s1, s2) )
                           stuff();

                   Something like this is appropriate
                       if ( strncmp(s1, s2, strlen(s2)) == 0 )
                           stuff();


Here is a context diff that fixes it.
