Buffer chokes on multibyte characters

[bkeepers]

This wiki page on GitHub causes wikicloth to hang. It appears to be caused by the buffer's mishandling of multibyte strings.

The following will just hang indefinitely:

require 'wikicloth'
require 'open-uri'

url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/CA-CST-SII/Software-Standards/Demo:-C%23-Coding-Standards.mediawiki"

puts WikiCloth::Parser.new(:data => open(url).read).to_html
