Allthoug there is an entry in libc, documentation says:

For AIX 5.3:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/topic/com.ibm.ai
x.basetechref/doc/basetrf2/basetrf2.htm

There is no strndup or strnlen.


For AIX 6.1:

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/topic/com.ibm.aix.basetechr
ef/doc/basetrf2/s_nav.htm

there is strnlen, no strndup.


For AIX 7.1

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/topic/com.ibm.aix.basetechr
ef/doc/basetrf2/s_nav.htm

there are strndup and strnlen 


I could not reproduce the behaviour from 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1097
on any current AIX I have available (5.3, 6.1). It seems to be
fixed by now. I still think, one should not use functions,
that are not documented.

Cheers
