So I have a new theory about this. Searching for 'pdp-11' causes eBay to
automagically limit the search to the 'Vintage Computing' category. They
must have a keyword->category database.
Anyway, if I manually then select 'All' categories, I get the same results
for searches for both 'pdp-11' and 'pdp-11 pdp-11'. So my theory is that
'pdp-11 pdp-11' _doesn't_ hit their database, and so it goes to 'All' -
thereby producing different results.
So I just have to hit 'All' every time I do a search...
