"Later" refers to _calendar time_. From the trunk ChangeLog:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002-09-09 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* search.c (clear_unused_search_regs): New static function.
(search_buffer):
(simple_search):
(boyer_moore):
Use it. Fixes "stale match data" bug reported by Martin Stjernholm.
Minor clarifications in comments.
* regex.c (re_match_2_internal): Ensure no stale submatches.
2002-08-30 Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org>
* XEmacs 21.5.9 "brussels sprouts" is released.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All OK now?
