For a patch I use the match object to look for the list 0 0.

when match gets 0 0 the first time it responds as expected by outputting:

My understanding is that match operates on segments of input streams, not discreet lists.

set match to look for "0 0"
1st input: 0 0
begins stream: 0 0
matches:  [0 0]
output: 0 0

2nd input: 0 0
stream continues: 0 0 0 0
matches:  0 [0 0] 0;  0 0 [0 0]
output: 0 0, 0 0

set match: "0 0 0"
1st input: 0
begins stream: 0
matches:  none
output: none

2nd input: 0
continue stream: 0 0
matches:  none
output: none

3rd input: 0
continue stream: 0 0 0
matches:  [0 0 0]
output: 0 0 0

4th input: 0
continue stream: 0 0 0 0
matches:  0 [0 0 0]
output: 0 0 0

[not a bug] match object and 0 0
