Hi Gerd,
Historians believe that Fri, 2 Feb 2001 at 15:30 GMT +0100 was when,
Gerd Ewald [GE] typed the following:

It will crash only if someone has special characters in their name
(accented letters, etc.). You can avoid that problem by replacing
"\w" with a square bracket containing everything you *don't* want. Or
I would personally be more general and use: "\S" So I would
include everything that is not whitespace (I think the syntax is
right).
