Hi,

this might be a bug.
re-search-backward never returns in the following expression:

(with-temp-buffer
   (insert "new Test1() { public void f(final int i)")
   (re-search-backward "\\([a-z (]*\\)*ne" (point-min) t))

I'm using

GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-nt4.0.1381) of 2003-03-28 on buffy

Regards,

Martin
