I also agree, but notice the the problem is unsolved, really.
Perhaps something more along the line of
#define skip_leading_substring(whole,part) \
(strncmp(whole,part,strlen(part)) ? NULL : whole + strlen(part))
if ((p2 = skip_leading_substring(p, "-fwhizzle-")) != NULL)
process_whizzle(p2);
would be appropriate.
