A caller can give a buf that is NUL terminated but specify that the
only early part of the buffer to be used by giving you a shorter
size, no?  In such a case, strstr() is safe in the sense that it is
guaranteed not to go on forever, but you need to verify the location
of the string it found is within the bounds.
