[Rd] Regression in match() in R 3.3.0 when matching strings with different character encodings

[Peter Haverty]

Dear Kirill,

You are correct, that is a new bug introduced in PR16491. The appropriate
fix and regression tests have been added via PR16885, which has been merged
into trunk. I believe that means the fix will be released with R 3.3.1.

I checked your example and the second "match" now properly returns 1 with
the patched code.

Please have a look at

Thank you for your report. I hope the benefits of this speedup will
eventually outweigh this unfortunate bug in my PR16491.

Regards,

Pete
