Yeah --- Bruce did not adjust the string length calculations when he
editorialized on the directory name.  I'd been meaning to go back and
make them match.

[ shrug... ]  The name is not going to change again.  I have never cared
for the practice of writing strlen("foo") as if it were a compile-time
