regcomp gnulib<=>glibc sync bears fruit

2010-01-04 Thread Jim Meyering
In comparing regcomp.c from gnulib with the one in glibc, I found numerous important differences: - one bug that's been fixed in gnulib for 5 years, yet not in glibc. I reported it here: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11127 - numerous bugs fixed in glibc but not
