 It is definitely not in 4.3BSD (I checked our sources here).  All of
 the str* functions, except for str(n)cat, str(n)cmp, str(n)cpy, and
 strlen, have implementations in the lib/libc/compat-sys5 directory.
 That directory also includes a family of str???n functions which
 completely null-fill the remainder of their target buffers.
