I starred a the code a bit, but I don't see the problem here.  match is
always <= 3 so if it is 3 in one iteration best increases to 3 and clk
isn't touched anymore.  The other statements in the loop have no side
effects either.

Apart from that a while back I thought about removing

	if (match == 0)
		continue;

as if match is 0 the next if condition is false.  I don't remember why I
didn't do it.  Maybe I checked the generated code and it made no
difference.

Best regards
Uwe
