There is no bug.  The function is supposed to reverse the order of the
characters in the string

In the IDE plac the cursor on the word strrev and press ^F1 to get help on
the function.  You will see something like this:

  -------------------
  Reverses a string.
  strrev changes all characters in a string to reverse order,
  except the terminating null character. (For example, it
  would change string\0 to gnirts\0.)

  Return Value
  strrev returns a pointer to the reversed string.
