Yes, it's rather weird, and the original version of it seemed a bit
convoluted.

My question is: do we even need to copy the string at all?
It seems to me that this is some variant of strncasecmp(a,b,n)
where n=strlen(a) and the only difference is that if that says
they are equal then we need to check that b[n] is blank or nul.

[Yes it could technically return a different answer if (a) has a
space in it, but that's not an issue.]
