 // new_string() - allocate a new string

 //

 //  parameters:

 //      src (in)        string to copy or NULL

 //      len (in)        length of newly created string or 0 for default

 //

 //  return value:

 //      pointer to string object or NULL if out of memory

 //

 //  calling with str and len is equivalent to strndup()

 //  calling with str but len=0 is equivalent to strdup()

 //  calling with str=NULL is equivalent to calloc()

 //

 //  parameters:

 //      s (in)          pointer to string to free

 //  parameters:
