Patch #527371, from Greg Chapman, seems to be pretty obvious, and is laying around for quite some time. The same pattern even happens in a few other places in the sre module. I suggest we apply it, including the fixes for lastindex mentioned in the discussion.

As a minor observation, I'd include the "state->lastmark = lastmark;" line inside the 'if' block when applying, as every other occurence of this algorithm. No big deal, but saves a few cycles.
