Sorry I wasn't clear.

I didn't mean that it will return a match. I meant that it will stop
scanning through the strings as soon as one ends.
Whatever the result of the last comparaison it did will be used to
determine the return value.
In the case of "ab" vs "abc" the last comparaison is between '\0' and 'c'.
