Isn't pfx there supposed to be a copy of just the type name, without  
the colon?

Even if not, using strncmp like that would give incorrect positive  
matches if "FILEXYZ:foo" is given.

It does look to me like the wrong thing will happen with a drive- 
letter prefix -- if it sees "c:foo", it'll assume the "c:" is part of  
the filename, and use "FILE:", with the colon, which won't match  
"FILE" in the linked list.
