If a pattern contains (*ACCEPT) the code for finding the minimum length
gives up because everything gets too complicated, and so the minimum is
0. A simple case like the above is all very well, but I chose not to try
to handle cases like /(abcd(*ACCEPT)|xyz)123/ and worse.
Thank you for all your documentation comments. I will work through them
in due course.
