Hmm, it appears that the attachment was stripped.  Perhaps you could post the 
code to a public URL?  Also, I would suggest that using

hint.mtd.X.start="search"

might be more intuitive than

hint.mtd.X.search="start"

Then each partition always had a 'start' and 'end' value.  You could just 
reject hints that have 'search' for both the start and end.
