Hi cygwinners!

I've found a problem using regular expressions: pattern repitition doesn't
seem to work, e.g.:

expr abbc  : '.*b\{2\}.*'

doesn't match.

The problem lies clearly within regex.c. Since I don't want to meddle with
it's internals, does anyone know where I can find a working regex.c ?



Cheers, Wolfgang
