/*
 *      strnstrn        Search for the first occurance of a substring
 *                      in another string.  The length of the strings
 *                      are arguments and the strings are not necessarily
 *                      null-terminated.
 *
 *      Algorithm:  This routine uses the Boyer-Moore algorithm as
 *              described in _Algorithms_ by Robert Sedgewick,
 *              Addison-Wesley, 2d Ed., 1988.  pp. 277-289.
 *
 *      Performance:  If M is the length of the substring and N is
 *              the length of the string; this algorithm's worst case
 *              is M+N character comparisons, and ``average-case'' is
 *              N/M comparisons.  The ``brute-force'' algorithm's
 *              worst case is about N*M comparisons.
