Oops, good catch. Could you include a copy of the compiler shadow warnings in the commit log? I'm guessing this bug is highlighted with -Wshadow? How did you discover this problem?

Hmm... Instead, could you change it to str16 and str8? s8/s16 were clearly misguided names in the first place, and it's not immediatealy obvious to me that a 'ps16' would represent "pointer to 16-bit string".
