Bug description:  ereg_replace fails on strings containing backslashes

The goal is to replace sequence of two backslashes in $text by one
backslash. While preg_replace works, ereg_replace does not make any change
to $text.


echo "preg_replace\n";
$text="\\\\";
echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n";
$text=preg_replace( "/\\\\\\\\/", "\\\\", $text);
echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n";
echo "\n";
echo "ereg_replace\n";
$text="\\\\";
echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n";
$text=ereg_replace( "\\\\\\\\", "\\\\", $text);
echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n";


./configure \
        --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
        --with-imap=/usr/ports/new/imap \
        --enable-track-vars \
        --enable-trans-sid
