I don't know why you think this is what you're seeing, but the documented
behavior
of strstr() is that it will return NULL if the needle is not within the
haystack, or the
pointer to the needle within the haystack otherwise. Perhaps you should get
into
gdb and look at your variables at the time strstr() is called to verify
what you think
is happening really is.
