[Haibo Luo]

Thanks for the bug report. I opened one work item in codeplex: http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=811

Compare:

Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> s = 'x'
>>> s.rfind('x', 0, 0)
-1

>>> s = 'x'
>>> s.rfind('x', 0, 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##57
  File , line 0, in RFind##60
  File mscorlib, line unknown, in LastIndexOf
  File mscorlib, line unknown, in LastIndexOf
ValueError: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the
size
of the collection.
Parameter name: startIndex

It looks like str.rfind needs to avoid calling String.LastIndexOf for empty
subranges of the string.
