> We had this gem

Before people get carried away with creative solutions, I should
tell you that we just made the obviously "correct" patch:

   if (match_number(csb, 0, MAXUSHORT, &i, var2, flags, NULL) &&
	match_char(&csb->line[csb->line_index], &i, ':') {
       	got_num_colon = TRUE;	/* Remember we got "<number>:" */
	if (match_number(csb, 0, MAXULONG, &i, var3, flags, NULL) &&
	    match_whitespace2(...)) {
	    /* Stuff */
	    return;
         }
      }
