Package: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.18-1
Severity: normal

I tried to figure out why a package I wanted to use wasn't working and I traced
the problem to a regexp. Here's a simple example of the problem:

(string-match "\\(-[a-z]+\\)\\{4\\}" "-ab-cd")
0

(string-match "\\(-[a-z]+\\)\\{5\\}" "-ab-cd")
nil

I think both should fail.

They should work with \\{2\\}, though, of course.
