FWIW I enabled use of -m without dfa in mkpat when testing the hypothesis
that anchoring the patterns in the middle would make the
"grid optimisation" in the standard matcher work better. But because of the
random changes to the reading noted already, I didn't get identical
results before and after, and didn't have time to verify that
the unexpected passes and failures were due to this.

My recollection is that grid test was able to reject slightly
more patterns, but it wasn't all that significant.
