Are you on a machine with SSE4.2 instructions?  glibc 2.12 has the
interesting problem of a strstr that is quadratic if you have SSE4.2,
but linear if you fall back to the C code (gnulib copies the C code
implementation).  I wonder if there's yet another bug lurking in the C
code strstr implementation.  :(
