Hello John, thank you for investigating and responding! Yes, I can reproduce the behaviour with different results within the same version -- which is 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] The catch is to remove the last character, as i described in my original post, as opposed to passing reduced length parameters to find_longest_match, which is what you did. It is morning now, but i still fail to see the mistake i am making -- if it is indeed a bug, where do i report it? Cheers! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
