Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:66 gk]:
 > Well, indeed I had forgotten about that. However, why does this issue
 apply to macOS which is the only platform that part of the patch is
 concerned about? I mean we set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` on Linux with the start
 script, so I see why we ran into #18900 but we don't touch the respective
 env variable on macOS, no?

 On macOS we do have the `tor` script, although it does not currently
 modify `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in a way that could cause a problem like
 #18900. However, the `strstr()` code is wrong and it seems risky to
 include it given the potential for future problems. Also, none of our
 recent Tor Browser releases have included the `strstr()` code so Kathy and
 I are not comfortable adding it this close to the 9.0 release.
