subst() with REPLACE_BACKREFERENCES cuts first 2 characters

           Summary: subst() with REPLACE_BACKREFERENCES cuts first 2
                    characters
           Product: Regexp
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other

Just tried the new subst()-Method with the pattern "http://[\.\w\-\?/~_@&=%]+";, 
input "visit us: http://www.apache.org!"; and substitution "1234<a 
href="$0">$0</a>". The call of subst
(input,substitute,RE.REPLACE_BACKREFERENCES) produces "visit us: 34<a 
href="http://www.apache.org";>http://www.apache.org</a>!", the first two numbers 
are cut away.
Another Try: "variable=value" against "(.*?)=(.*)" and "$1_test=$2" produces 
following:

String index out of range: -2
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -2
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1480)
        at org.apache.regexp.RE.subst(Unknown Source)
.....

Same call, just "12$1_test=$2" as the substitution produces the right 
result: "variable_test=value"


Another Question: Why does "subst()" use $x as backreference, otherwise "\x" is 
used?
