When partially applying the $match function, the regex was compiled and stored in the closure.
The same RegExp object was then applied multiple times in the $map, but the lastIndex property was not being reset, so alternate matches would fail (which then resets lastIndex to 0).
This PR fixes that.
resolves #427
