No, it won't, unless I miss something.

I changed what value ptr_string passes the length param to match(),
but this param is not used in match_middle and match_end.

It does break match_front for ptr_string, but that's because
the mixture of 2 bugs happened to make things right. I can
sort this out by reordering the 2 patches.
