According to Hans-Peter Nilsson:
> When putting a "found" note in the state for the last "ad" in

> last "d" in "aded" so it falsely reports matching "ad" for
> e.g. "adedf" (but still with length 4).
> However, this bug also causes "ad" *not* to be found in smaller
> strings not containing "aded", like "adg".
> This only happens if you put smaller, ambiguating, matches
> after larger matches in a pattern.
Ah! This seems like exactly the sort of problem Benoit Majeau reported
back on Dec. 9, in his "StringMatch bug?" message.
