< and > as characters in C?

Yeah, I just wrote this little test and it works OK.

Code:

/*
  Show the bug
*/

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

char testdata[] = "foo xyzzy <tag> nonsense <label> junk more junk";

int main(void) {
  if (strstr(testdata,"<tag>") == NULL)
    printf("tag not found\n");
  else
    printf("tag found\n");
  if (strstr(testdata,"<label>") == NULL)
    printf("label not found\n");
  else
    printf("label found\n");
  return 0;
}

The real thing has 5 MB of data, too much to post.
