Maybe the problem is simply that, that the buffer is in UTF-8. Then is
makes really no sense to search for that byte because it does not
exist, like a quark (although baryons and mesons are built from them),
there only exists the two-byte word \xc3\xbf (standing for ÿ, LATIN
SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS). Clearly, you can't search what does
not exist – except you're Lancelot.
Which coding is used in the buffer? Can you switch to a (raw) byte-
based encoding and test in this state?
