I'm not sure which version of glibc is running on this platform, but it
seems like we should be working around this bug (and also reporting it
to glibc, if it hasn't yet been fixed there). I'm also trying to see if
I can log in to that machine and reproduce precisely which search is
causing the out-of-bounds reference from glibc's strstr implementation.
