Honestly, while this horrible code is mildly offensive to me, I'm pretty impressed by this person's persistence. It's one thing to identify a bug in a compiled program, but it's another to patch it without fully understanding what's going on. Caching strlen was a particularly clever trick that sidestepped a bunch of more complicated solutions.
