[bug-recutils] Selection is extremely slow when fields with common name exist

[John Darrington]

Running the script below, the recsel command takes forever (and eventually 
crashed).  It seems to be related to having multiple fields with the same name, 
like:

junk: a1
junk: a2
junk: a3
.
.
.

It is super fast, if the names are unique, like
junk1: a1
junk2: a2
junk3: a3
.
.


#/bin/bash

echo 'Name: This' > foo.rec

for f in `seq 1 1000` ; do
  echo "junk: xx$f" >> foo.rec
done
echo  >> foo.rec
echo 'Name: That' >> foo.rec

recsel -e 'Name = "That"' foo.rec
