hmmm, because I assumed that dmi_check_system()
would do an exact string compare with "!strcmp()".
I'm surprised to discover it uses strstr() and matches
substrings instead. Is there logic behind that?
Certainly it makes using a single entry to match
a vendor problematic, as a short vendor string
could potentially be a substring of a different (unknown) vendor...
