yara 1.5 for windows problem about yara-project

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Out of curiosity, I decided to test this just now with Yara v1.6
(Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Yara, I'm just a regular user.)

I don't really understand what this bug report is saying, but here are my 
observations about " at ": 

2 of ($foo*) will...

... always be false if you only have one "$foo1" defined in the strings section.

... be true if you repeat your string twice, even if your input only has a 
single occurrence. So, 
$foo1="foo"
$foo2="foo"
2 of ($foo*)
will always be true if your input file contains a single "foo" string. In 
general, I don't think anyone is ever going to be writing rules like this.

... work correctly if you have three strings defined, and any two of them 
appear at least once, for each string. So,
$foo1="foo"
$foo2="bar"
$foo3="buz"
2 of ($foo*)
will match "foobar", but not match "foofoo" or "barbar"  Is this the issue?

During a brief period of time a buggy version 1.5 having this problem was 
available to download. The issue was solved short after that this shouldn't be 
a problem with more recent versions.
