That might not be entirely true. Since offset is a pointer, there's a chance
(and a pretty high one according to my reproducer) that the offset[-1] value 
happens to be 0. In that case the tests will pass fine. I can reproduce the bug
approximately 1 every 6-7 passes here.

I'll send a v2 shortly fixing the tags and adding a few comments on the code,
which will hopefully make future reading easier.

Cheers
