Hi.
Per Coverity.
Coverity raised the follow report:
CID 1642824: (#1 of 1): Overflowed constant (INTEGER_OVERFLOW) 
37. overflow_const: Expression pattern_len - 1ULL, where pattern_len is known to be equal to 0, underflows the type of pattern_len - 1ULL, which is type unsigned long long.
This is because the function *pg_mbstrlen* can return zero.
And the comment is clear, *just in case there are MB chars*.
patch attached.
best regards,
Ranier Vilela
