bug#16265: 24.3.50; re-search-forward (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)")

Nicolas:

I will put together a recipe for reproducing the error and provide a full backtrace.  I am away from the computer today, and will start working on it tonight and provide it once it is completed.

Thanks,

Keith
