I take it you mean in stringmap_find?

The keys are put into a binary tree in stringmap_insert,
so we can search for a given key by comparing the key
against the key for each node, and going down left or
right hand branch depending on the result from strcmp.

Well, as I've said, I can't reproduce the problem, and the
above doesn't describe how I think the function works.
