It should fail to match again.
Should it fail? If so, then what is the bug?
Richard has replied that he does not see this problem on his system
(GNU/Linux I suppose).
What is the problem? Everything that you said SHOULD happen does, on
both GNU/Linux and W32. So I don't think I see it either.
Hm. Yes, I can see now I misunderstood the [:space:] character class. It
was not exactly what I thought. I believed \r and \n belonged to this
character class (though I understand it can not).
This explains why the pattern did not match. However it does not explain
why it matched later in point 3. I am still so surprised by this that I
had to test it once again to be sure.
