contains() currently only allows ranges of up to 4096 bytes.  This
currently isn't documented anywhere but the source, but is a trade-
off we made years ago for efficiency's sake (otherwise in your rule
we'd have to read the first 900000 bytes of every print file, which
will have serious a performance impact...)
