Description

The general bug is a case where a phrase with no slop is found,
but if you add slop its not.

I committed a test today (TestSloppyPhraseQuery2) that actually triggers this case,
jenkins just hasn't had enough time to chew on it.

ant test -Dtestcase=TestSloppyPhraseQuery2 -Dtests.iter=100 is enough to make it fail on trunk or 3.x

Research direction

Start with TestSloppyPhraseQuery2 and run `ant test -Dtestcase=TestSloppyPhraseQuery2 -Dtests.iter=100` on trunk or 3.x to reproduce the failure. Read SloppyPhraseScorer alongside ExactPhraseScorer and use the attached patches for context. Done means the regression test passes without sloppy phrase queries missing documents found by exact phrase queries.
