This should be "unsigned short", not "unsigned char", obviously.

Thinking about it, it'll be 0 or 1, depending on the endian-ness of your
platform.  The character 'p' will be 0x0070, so on little-endian
architectures strlen will return 1 while it will return 0 on big-endian
architectures.  Silly me.
