I am testing for 3 bytes "cde" inside 4 bytes "abcd", this should not
be successful.

Exactly. It does _not_ contain "cde". This should return NULL
from the memmem() and hence 1 from main().

I guess you misinterpreted the test code, there is a '!' which transforms
a returned pointer (success) to 0 exit status in main() and vice versa.
