From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@xxxxxxxxxxx> According to its name, the test its designed for UTF-16-LE-BOM. However, possibly due to copy&paste oversight, it was using UTF-32 file. While the test succeeds (probably interprets extra \x00\x00 as embedded zero), I myself had an unrelated problem which caused the test to fail. When analyzing the failure I was quite puzzled by the fact that the test is obviously bugged. And it seems that I'm not alone: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAH8yC8kSakS807d4jc_BtcUJOrcVT4No37AXSz=jePxhw-o9Dg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u This fix changes the test to follow its original intention.
