Comment:

 This will work in 1.0.7 for multiple terms as well as it does for just two
 terms in 1.0.6.

 But that's not actually very well - the window size for the OP_NEAR isn't
 set explicitly, so
 the default of the number of terms is used.  I think it would make more
 sense to default_op of
 OP_NEAR to work much like an explicit a NEAR b NEAR c.  So I'm going to
 keep this bug open
 for this remaining issue, but retitle appropriately.
