   2  * We make the version string static, and return a pointer to it, rather
   3  * than exporting the version string directly.  On at least some UNIXes,
   4  * if you import data from a shared library into an program, the data is
   5  * bound into the program binary, so if the string in the version of the
   6  * library with which the program was linked isn't the same as the
   7  * string in the version of the library with which the program is being
   8  * run, various undesirable things may happen (warnings, the string
   9  * being the one from the version of the library with which the program
  10  * was linked, or even weirder things, such as the string being the one
  11  * from the library but being truncated).
