helpers indexOf doesn't seem to be working as expected.

I'm working with https://github.com/PortSwigger/java-deserializer I have a stream of bytes in a request that should be a serialized java object. Line 145 in JDUtils.java (https://github.com/PortSwigger/java-deserializer/blob/b6f04746206a692883d9418403a2f374f6697c28/src/burp/JDUtils.java#L145) is the following: return helpers.indexOf(content, JDUtils.serializeMagic, false, 0, content.length) > -1; Dumping the byte array thats passed in as the content argument, I clearly see the serializeMagic bytes right after the headers: 13, 10, 13, 10, -84, -19 (cr,nl,cr,nl, serialized object begins). However, the call to indexOf returns -1, not an offset to -84 as expected. What am I missing here ? Thanks in advance!
