When we notice l1[i1] and l2[i2] does not match, we want i1 and i2
to stay pointing at that unmatch. The code before this fix however
ends up incrementing them before leaving the loop.
This breakage seems to come from 2344d47f (diff: fix 2 whitespace
issues, 2006-10-12)? That's quite old and it is somewhat surprising
that nobody complained.
Well spotted. Will queue.
Thanks.
