false positive in string/sequence comparison about python-on-a-chip

If HAVE_STRING_H is true, and strncmp is implemented as follows:

      int strncmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n)
      {       /* compare unsigned char s1[max n], s2[max n] */
        for (; 0 < n; ++s1, ++s2, --n)
          if (*s1 != *s2)
            return (  *(unsigned char *)s1
                    < *(unsigned char *)s2 ? -1 : +1);
          else if (*s1 == '\0')
            return (0);
        return (0);
      }

The code below should assert:

seq1 = bytearray( [0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0x00, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA] )
seq2 = bytearray( [0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA, 0xAA] )
assert seq1 == seq2
