The <strings.h> that was used for part of the build had an incorrect prototype
for index() and rindex(). It declared their second argument as type (char).
The functions expect arguments of type (int). When rindex used the second
argument as an index into a table, it crashed because the 3 high bytes of the
index were not cleared.
The fix is to rebuild everything built with gcc on the VAX.
