I'll see if I can look at this tonight since things have settled down
until next month.

Is this only an issue under 4.3.3 or this also an issue with 5.1?  I
understand other's concern in regards to sublevels of 4.3.3.

I would be willing to set it for all 4.3.3 and lower to use our internal
strsep and allow 5.1 to use the native one if 5.1 is fine.  Just coding to
detect such things is normally ugly.
