This patch makes the usage of strchr() return value slightly more strict by using const. This doesn't change any functionality but allows the code to be compiled in environments where we are forced to use C++ standard-compliant versions of strchr (that don't return char* when const char* is given).
This change also makes the code a bit safer and correct since the pointers in question are derived from a const char* data-parameter that was never meant for modification any way.
