* Guard against underflow when adjusting length
With the fuzz-testcase in mozilla bug 1295299, we end up with a recursed lookup that removes 3 items, when `match_positions[idx]` is 0, which results in (unsigned) `end` wrapping to a huge value.
Making `end` a signed int is probably the simplest route to a fix.
