[ruby-core:61903] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9695] Substring search exhibit quadratic behaviour.

Issue #9695 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.


For example other BM implementation, I compared with Ruby's regexp:

```ruby
12.upto(21).map do |i|
  needle='a'*(2**(i-1)) + 'b'
  haystack = 'a' * (2**i)
  a = Time.now; haystack.include?(needle); b=Time.now
  t1 = b-a
  a = Time.now; Regexp.new(needle) =~ haystack; b=Time.now
  t2 = b-a
  p [i, t1, t1/haystack.length**2, t2, 21/haystack.length**2]
end
```

```

Wasn't me that found it but it seems the founder hasn't reported it yet.
