Test case to show that re_match doesn't work correctly none

Description Richard Hult 2002-09-21 17:53:03 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
re_match doesn't seem to return the offset of the match from start, but from the
start of the entire string, which it did in rhl 7.3, and which also is the
documented behavior in regex.h

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

I'll attach a test case.

This has been fixed already. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2002-08/msg00152.html
You need glibc >= 2.2.90-27.
