I'd be somewhat surprised if there's a platform out there on which we
run where strlen(NULL) *doesn't* crash; on most if not all platforms
on which we run:
1) NULL has all of its bits zero;
2) at least one page of address space starting at 0 is deliberately
missing (to catch null-pointer dereferences);
and I suspect most if not all implementations of strlen() don't
explicitly check for a null argument.
