I found this trying to use the function in a change to the code, which
doesn't show that there is problems in the code as it is. But I've
been able to get problems to occur with the code as it is.

If you have a manual for "viper", try running "info viper" and then
typing "slicense" followed by Enter. It will miss the occurrences of
"license" on the last line of Top.

I've attached a short test file. Try "info -f other.info" and
"smatch". Going through the matches with "}" it only goes to the first
and second matches.

I have tested it with info 4.13 and it works, but not with info 5.2.
In fact I don't think the patch I submitted above fixes the problem
properly as even with that I only get the first three matches.
