It's taken me ages to isolate this problem, but I think
I've now found it... only problem is I don't know how
to solve it!

I've installed a fresh copy of v0.9, with only two AIML
categories loaded:

<category>
<pattern>I AM * TALL</pattern>
<template>
That's quite tall
</template>
</category>

<category>
<pattern>* VERY *</pattern>
<template>
<star index="1"/> <star index="2"/>
</template>
</category>

Here's some responses that work:

User: I am 7 feet tall.
Bot: That's quite tall.
-------------------------------
User: Baby ducks are very cute
Bot: Baby ducks are cute

However, if you type one of the following you get an
unintentional Yoda-esque response!

User: I am very clever.
Bot: very clever i am.
-------------------------------
User: I am very big for my age
Bot: very big for my age I am

The pattern matched in $botresponse->patternsmatched is
* very * but it appears to be getting confused by the I
AM * TALL category because changing this to I AM TALL
fixes the problem...

I would be eternally grateful if somebody with more
brains than me could have a look at this and see what's
going on (I've got a copy of the debugger output log if
it would help) because this program is so great and I
want to carry on making my bot!

    This is a valid bug. Currently it's under investigation. It
    should be solved in the next couple of weeks when the next
    version of Program E is released.

    I've found a fix for a bug in star that appears at the end of a pattern.
    In file graphnew.php line 552
    the line
    function fastforward($word,$ffremains){
    should be
    function fastforward($word,&$ffremains){
