I haven't confirmed it myself. I don't have an ARM machine running
anything more recent than 4.0.1 (and that much only quite recently - I
found my shark in storage and am only just getting it back in full
operation). 4.0.1 appears to not even _have_ strnlen. But my reading
of the assembly code I found in 9.1's /usr/src matches the behaviour
you describe far too well for me to think it's entirely coincidence;
I'm fairly fairly confident of my analysis.
