Robert Muir resolved LUCENE-2672.
---------------------------------

      Assignee: Robert Muir
    Resolution: Fixed

Committed revision 1001781.

I left out the terms dict cache clone() thing, its something we can revisit if we ever need to... 
not sure its a big deal especially if we can use it smarter (such as LUCENE-2674)

> While testing, i found there are some queries (e.g. wildcard ?????????) that do quite a lot of backtracking.
> nextString doesn't handle this particularly well, when it walks the DFA, if it hits a dead-end and needs to backtrack, it increments the bytes, and starts over completely.
> alternatively it could save the path information in an int[], and backtrack() could return a position to restart from, instead of just a boolean.
