A lot of times things go wrong because you passed in different binary
versions of the same string due to encoding mismatches. If you pass in the
same array of bytes to each function, do you get the same results? If so,
then you probably just need to be sure you are using the same binary string
encoding (UTF8, UTF16, ASCII, etc.).
