As noticed by Dmitry Gryazin: When a pattern is found but it doesn't start and end at word boundaries, bol is forwarded to after the match and the pattern is searched again. When a pattern is finally found between word boundaries, the match offsets are off by the number of characters that have been skipped. This patch corrects the offsets to be relative to the value of bol as passed to match_one_pattern() by its caller.
