Btw, ignore the comment. I was thinking of doing the matching differently 
(just make the source buffer include a '\0' at the end, and forcing that 
to match), but once I actually wrote it, it ended up being much easier to 
just check the offset/size difference.

So that "final ending '\0' byte in the file" part of the comment is just 
nonsense.
