You're right, and matching the zero-length string at the beginning of the
line actually makes sense.  Corrected patch below.


If a zero-length match is encountered, break out of loop and show the rest
of the line uncoloured.  Otherwise we'd be looping forever, trying to make
progress by advancing the pointer by zero characters.
