Hm, it works with or without it, but yes without the semi colon it will
presumably go through an extra 2-3 instructions per character.
I can't remember why i thought it had to be off, could have had a problem
with the other two bugs there.
Btw, i would've thought the compiler should optimize that sort of loop,
and place the if(!*p1) test outside of it, but having just disassembled 
it, doesn't seem to.
