You have this here too (just that seems pdfmm searches backwards only for startxref):
https://github.com/pdfmm/pdfmm/blob/master/src/pdfmm/base/PdfParser.cpp#L931-L932 So is there actually some reason that for "i == 0" it is internal logic? What if startxref is precisely PDF_XREF_BUF bytes before the last EOF offset (m_LastEOFOffset)? Seems you are searching for a trailer right after xref (if I read that part well).
