I confirm the problem, but your analysis appears incorrect.  In fact, 
your fix works in your case, but in cases where the filter matches 
exactly two entries it would return both and then sizelimit exceeded for 
a -z1 sizelimit, which is incorrect.  I believe the test must move 
somewhere else, and apply if yet another entry is about to be returned 
by any target.  I'm providing a new fix to both HEAD and RE22.

In any cases, thanks for reporting and please test.  p.
