I am quite certain that it is not allowed to pass NULL pointers to strcmp, and even if it was, I maintain that it is bad style. FWIW the test suite seems to agree with me, as it passes with my patch. However, since you already seem to have a profiling setup ready, I would be interested in some numbers, i.e. if this patch is faster for you or slower, or shows no effect at all.
