The additional 'ÿ' character seems to indicate that the compiler has
added an extra 0xFF byte to the string constant, like if it has stored
"return 42" like this:

 72 65 74 75 72 6E 20 34   32 FF 00

Is it possible for you to look at the generated code, or look at the
memory in a debug session?
It looks like there is a compiler bug (happens rarely, but happens...)
or an encoding problem in your source file.
