$msg="aaZaa";
$string1="aa";
$string2="aaa";
print "msg (bits): ",unpack('b*',$msg),"\n";
print "indexing string1 ($string1) and string2 ($string2) inside msg 
($msg)\n";
print index($msg,$string1,0),"\n";
print index($msg,$string2,0),"\n";

$msg="\0\0Z\0\0";
$string1="\0\0";
$string2="\0\0\0";
print "msg (bits): ",unpack('b*',$msg),"\n";
print "indexing string1 ($string1) and string2 ($string2) inside msg 
($msg)\n";
print index($msg,$string1,0),"\n";
print index($msg,$string2,0),"\n";

print "\n result is different, but actually for string2 index should 
always return -1 in both cases, shouldn't it??\n\n";
