From: "Thibault Kruse" <thibault.kruse <at> gmx.de>
To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org
Subject: 23.1; regexp backslash-B matches word
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:54:51 +0200

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

According to emacs manual, \B matches the empty string, but it does not.

start emacs with emacs -q --no-site-file
move point over word in the splash screen.
M-:
(looking-at "\\B")
minibuffer says: T, should say nil

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
