Static analysis from Hyejin Kim found possible pointer underflow.
Now that the kernel's 128k environment size has been lifted, it might be possible to feed in a gigabyte of suffix so argv[2] is enough larger than argv[1] that char *s decrements past NULL and points to arbitrary high memory (I.E. strlen(suffix) > (long)base), at which point the base > s test is defeated and we strcmp() against a wild pointer. Which is read only anyway and on 64 bit you probably couldn't hit any interesting addresses, but the fix is easy enough: compare strlen values instead of pointers. So do that instead.
