Hi Ethan. Sorry this is late, but the fixes you committed for this aren't 100%
right. The bug was that char_byte_offset is relative to the pointer that
sscanf() was passed. So in the 's' case, it's relative to buffer+2. I forgot the
+2 in my earlier code. Attaching a patch that redoes this fix simply by adding
in the +2.
