Off the top of my head, I would suspect that the wildcard isn't being
preserved by the stemming algorithm.  Basically, stemming strips all
of the characters from the end of a word down to the base.  'thing'
becomes 'th' for example.  You could add a printf statement to see how
the 'word' array is being transformed in the Stem() function in
stemmer.c.
