in thread Finding largest common subset in lists?

The output is due to the fact that 'b' is repeated in @b so the offset in %map is for the second 'b'. I think I'll leave the code as it is for the time being and just add a caveat that it won't work when there are duplicates in @b. Thanks once again :)

    It was aimed at duplicates, but I did not take into account the details - just the general algorithm. I believe you can not do it in one sweep when there are duplicates.
