Comment:

 Fixed.  I'm renaming this ticket and changing it to a merge request.
 Here's a CHANGES message:

 {{{
 - Reworked string BiFs to extract strings with a pointer and length
 instead of
   the previous method of working with the extracted string until a NULL is
   encountered.  Result is that string BiFs now function reliably on
 strings
   containing NULL values.
 }}}
