Thank you :)

BTW, I've also noticed that this sub filter module cannot handle
single-byte user patterns either:

    location = /t {
       default_type text/html;
        return 200 abc;
        sub_filter a X;
    }

Accessing /t yields "abc" instead of "Xbc" (tested with Nginx 1.2.6).

The state machine in the ngx_http_sub_parse function seems to assume
that the user pattern (ctx->match) is at least 2 bytes long, which
looks incorrect to me :)
