Also, any idea why these lines would give different results in different
projects?

    NSString *searchStr        = @"\njoy\n";
    NSData *strData            = [searchStr
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    const char *strBytes    = [strData bytes];

When this code is in the project you sent, strBytes shows '\njoy\n' in the
debugger (which is what I'd expect), but when i copy the exact code to a
different project strBytes shows extra memory stuff after it, like
'\njoy\n\x1b\x14\xc0'

Seems very odd.
