Thanks for fixing my commit for me! I'll take these points into
account next time.
Many other libc implementations have memrchr, but honestly, this third
commit was just something I noticed when reading the code, and not
directly related to the bug I was trying to fix.

Your se_implicit test case got left out of your commit. I guess this
was unintentional.
Presumably, the test case was based on [SV 54161]. The bug can now be closed.
