It might be a coincidence, but I no longer believe so. Today I tried to get a reg exp working but could not find the error. Then Emacs crashed and I just restarted Emacs and now suddenly everything worked as I expected. I have seen this before too. I have hesitated to tell about this because I do not know if it has been corrected and I am using the old Emacs (21.3.1, downloaded full bin dist). I decided to tell this anyway, since the problem is not very easy to show. Is this a known problem? Is it a problem with Emacs? (Could be my computer.)
