This problem is ill posed. You don't specify what happens
with less that 3 fields, or the meaning of the fields.
Normally I make the tests to run before attempting to code.

Running this again I get the same (my expected) results (SwiftForth, VFX, Gforth etc).
Not sure how I concluded it was broken.  I've lost track of the iterations done since.
Today I'm liking sjacks' solution.
