Follow-up Comment #1, bug #11962 (project classpath):
java.util.regex.Matcher returns IllegalStateException for itself, see
assertMatchOp at the end of Matcher.java; so gnu.regexp.REMatch doesn't have
to throw it.
/gnu/regexp/REMatch.java, however, does incorrectly return empty strings
instead of null values for groups that are outside the range of the regex's
result.
Attached is a simple patch that corrects the issue in REMatch.java.
