BUG #11104
Took out the offset-=delimiter_length-1 out of the for loop. It was causing
basically this:
select substring_index('the king of the the hill', 'the', -2) to not work.
The first iteration, offset would be initialised to 24, then strstr would
point at 'the king of the the* hill' ('*'means right before the
character following), returning a offset of 16. The for loop would then
decrement offset by two (3 - 1), to 14, now pointing at
"the king of th*e the hill", _skipping_ past the 'e' in the second to last
'the', and therefore strstr would never have a chance of matching the
second to last 'the', then moving on to the 'the' at the begginning of the
string!
In a nutshell, offset was being decremented by too great a value, preventing
the second to last 'the' from being ever found, hence the result of
'king of the the hill' from the query that is reported in the bug report
