   Return a string in which all occurences of PAT in memory STR are
   replaced with SUB. 

   If length of PAT is less than length of STR or there are no occurences
   of PAT in STR, then the original string is returned. Otherwise, a new
   string is allocated here and returned.
   
   on return, out_len is:
       the length of output string, or
       -1 if the input string is returned, or
       unchanged if an error occurs (no memory).

   return value is:
       the new string allocated locally, or
       NULL if an error occurred.
