Thank you for the patch.
I was going to push it with the attached slightly updated log message.
Note however that grep does use that -> fast member via dfasearch.c's
use of the dfaisfast function.
But then I realized I should at least verify with "make check", and
found that this makes grep's dfa-match test fail.
Thus, I will not be pushing it as-is.
