I am playing around with musicbrainz and am running into a problem with 
paged search results. See the first query below, offset has been set to 
zero, search results are returned, all fine. Then I set the offset to 25 
(second query) and am surprised to get the exact same results as the 
first query. Please tell me what I am doing wrong here. 
 
Thanks,
