Spot on, Glenn. Trouble was that it did not handle stripping a string
in "stringspace" (whatever that is) correctly. As far as I can make out
only STRIP had this exposure because it is the only built-in known not
to lengthen its first argument.

Well that produced a surprise:

Wow. Experimenting a little, I find I get this abend anytime the first
argument to STRIP() is longer than 18 characters:
pipe literal | specs print strip(left('',19)) 1 | cons
¬R
