If I know strtok correctly, the second string contains _any_ delimiter
used, so the next token may end by any combination of ':' and '\n' ...
here's what a SVR4-system says:

     strtok() considers the string s1 to consist of a sequence of zero
or
     more text tokens separated by spans of one or more bytes from the
     separator string s2. The first call, with pointer s1 specified,

Therefore, ":\n" is not wrong but should usually work ...
