Hi Leon, Shuah,

Thanks for the fix. I had this issue pending to fix,
but have been lazy about it, I appreciate you are taking care of it!

As Shuah already mentioned, I think we want to use strncmp
to be on the safe side.

I agree with Shuah, this change makes no sense, just drop it.

I think the fact this test was broken and nobody noticed
uncovers the fact that the test isn't being run.

Any reason why this test isn't a regular TARGET?
Or any idea how we can make sure this is run by CIs
and any other testing system?

Thanks!
Ezequiel
