Months ago I've also run into the same problem (on solaris 2.5.1
systems with SunCC), finally I've tracked down the bug to the
strlen() function provided by Solaris complier, which unrolled
the strlen() by 4 and cause a SEGV exception around the end of a
string.

SOLUTION: provide a strlen() yourself or update your vendor
compiler.
