Surprise: regexp crash

[John Plate]

Hi

I just downloaded the jakarta-regexp version 1.2 and created a
testprogram:

   re = new RE(".*?(a*)(b*)", RE.MATCH_NORMAL);
   if (re.match("xaabb")) {
     for (int i=0; i < re.getParenCount(); i++) {
       System.out.println("Match "+i+" "+re.getParen(i));
     }
   }

The program crashes with some error inside the regexp module.

Can someone please give some information about the state of the
package?

Thanks
