I'm glad that I'm not the only one familiar with #2.  (-:
One slight niggle: The return value from strlen() is a `size_t' not an `int'. 
 On some platforms, notably 16-bit Intel x86 architectures using "huge" 
memory models, `size_t' is a wider type than `int' is.  
Also bear in mind that `size_t' is always an *unsigned* integer type, whereas 
`int' is signed by default.  Although it doesn't cause a problem in this 
particular case, it can cause problems with strings that are longer than 
INT_MAX characters long, especially if one does such things as 
        int len = strlen( /*...*/ ) ;
        if (len > 0) { /* ... */ }
.  Again, this error is more obvious on some architectures than on others.
