Thanks very much to both of you, Sean & Steve, for looking into
this.
I really do appreciate it.
You're welcome. I have also been looking into the other regexp
problem, but as everybody knows Slackware 9.0 came out this week and
this has been a Slackware weekend :-)
Two other things, the regexp debug is too deadly to turn on. I have
made it into a list variable (debug build only) that allows you to
turn it on just when you need it.
Also, I noticed that the regexp tests need a lot of additions. Just in
the \b case, only certain boundry conditions are checked, not that it
works. Also, there are no tests for \B which is tightly bound to
\b. If you work on \b there is a good chance you will break \B.
Cheers,
Sean
