A structural problem was found in GLOBAL.
I will optimize it. Thanks Darryl for his report.

[work around]
When you use regular expressions, please put prefix '^' to it like:

	global -x -s '^utmp.h'

'.' is a regular expression which means any character.
So, 'utmp.h' will match with 'aaautmpbhccc'. The '^' enables global to
use index effectively.
