[help-recutils] Test for fields count: unexpected result

[Dmitry Bogatov]

Hello! Thanks for software, it is really nice.

But in following case I get unexpected result. Please, take a look.
(All listing is indented for 4 spaces, field names actually starts at
column 0)

    $ cat foo.rec
    Name: foo
    Index: 5
    Index: 9

    Name: bar
    Index: 7
    $ recsel -e '#Index = 1' foo.rec
    Name: foo
    Index: 5
    Index: 9

    Name: bar
    Index: 7

This do not seems right. I expected only second record with only one
instance of `Index' field be printed. In contrast following works as
expected:

    $ recsel -e '#Index = 2' foo.rec
    Name: foo
    Index: 5
    Index: 9

I am currently testing on 1.7 version, and the first example works as
described also on Debian box with 1.5 version on board.  Use case is
simple, so I belive it is bug in my understanding.

Any suggestions, please?
