 Hello Richard,
 
 I found a small bug in the "REST" patch.  If I try to start at an offset
 where the first digit is non-zero and every other digit is zero (ie:
 100, 1000 etc.) it won't do the REST.  Here's the relevant code:
 
   s = rangeVal;
   if (*s < '0' || *s > '9') break;
   while (*++s >= '0' && *s <= '9') len += *s - '0';
   if (*s != '-' || s[1] != '\0' || len == 0) break;
 
 The problem is, 's' is incremented before the first digit is added to
 'len', so if all the remaining digits are zero, it'll just break out of
 the loop.  This can be fixed by changing the 'while' line to the
 following:
 
   while (*s >= '0' && *s <= '9') len += *s++ - '0';
 
 Regards,
