Change 14908 by jhi@alpha on 2002/02/28 05:43:45

        Make shared hash keys to be \0-terminated:
        one possible resolution for
        "UTF-8, weird \w behaviour after HASH-KEY-ification"
        http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2002-01/msg01327.html
        The hash keys were shared (the SvLEN(sv) = 0 was the giveaway).
        The hash keys weren't \0-terminated.  This meant that the EOL ($)
        in regmatch() got the nextchr beyond the last character.  Since
        the keys were UTF-8, the nextchr was \1, not the usual
        string-terminating \0.  Wham, no match.
        
        I think another possible resolution could be to stop the nextchr
        computation in regmatch() from peeking beyond the last character
        of the string:
        
            nextchr = locinput < PL_regeol ? UCHARAT(locinput) : 0;
