[Fwd: Problem 2534]

[Rodent of Unusual Size <Ke...@Golux.Com>]

Hmmm.  It looks like the pointer-rather-than-string comparison, while
elegant, is suffering from some sort of hidden pointer manipulation on
AIX.

[Now that I understand it,] I'm loath to return to string comparison,
since this sequence is also invoked for containers in .htaccess files,
where the performance hit could be noticeable.

On the other hand.. why does this appear to only happen with
</Directory> and none of the other container closures?  Hmmm.

BTW, the test program was provided by the compiler development team.
