Hi Joe, this looks like a bug to me!! yikes. You are correct that you should
see only one copy of the tree returned by option for each iteration of the tree
constructor in search. grr! ok, I will add a bug. Can you do me a favor and
look at the generated code for -> ^(GROUP c option)+?? It might tell you
something that will help me fix the bug and also a way for you to get around.
Thanks!
