[issue1006] digest is down; suggestions welcome

[Dionysus Blazakis]

It seems there was an off-by-one error in the strspn code in our libc.
 The buffer was a byte too small and resulted in overwriting the saved
ebx which was the offset to the GOT -- but only if strspn was used
with a \xff in the second string.

I have a patch here:
http://dblaz.beevomit.org/dfly/strspn.patch

I've verified it fixes the PHP problem.  Also, I tested it against a
small program that called strspn with a \xff in the second string and
verified that ebx was correctly restored (unlike prior to the patch).
