Description Andrey Russev 2011-08-02 21:40:09 UTC 
Implementation of strncmp function in sys/boot/common/util.c differs
from libc version. You have to use strncmp(str1, str2, len - 1) instead
of strncmp(str1, str2, len) to archieve similar effect. For example,
strncmp(str1, str2, 0) returns zero if libc version is used and
difference of first characters if util.c version is used.

We've eliminated this code with the great move to stand + rewrite.
Closing bug as OBE.
