Ahem. My bad for submitting a bad testcase.

In my actual code I had the missing $ but I managed to miss it when
I tried to distill for testing/submission. Of course, I got
exactly the same behaviour.

In the end the problem I had was caused by the RedHat regex engine
barfing on [[:<:]], even though it was documented in the manpage
(FreeBSDs was fine).

I still couldnt get $regerror($failed_re) to return anything helpful
though :-/

I think I'll go hide my face now,
Steve
