This is an unwarranted assumption.

But the result is also undefined when mp_char does not occur in the
string which can happen for two printable ASCII characters.

Chris, you should test your code more thoroughly.

Saying that tcc starts to work when you fix the bug suggests that tcc
was not working before, but it's the code that was not working.  tcc
(and presumably bcc) were working fine all along.

What's the problem?  Are you sure it's lccwin32 and not the source code
that has the problem?
