I looked at the sources last night
- they probably shouldn't have been committed...

Those routines will core dump when given a string that ends on the last
byte of a page, and when the following page isn't mapped.

Also the optimisation '(word32 - 0x01010101) & 0x80808080' is only
valid for 7-bit ascii data.  For 8-bit data it is rather pointless.
