Backward reference fails in some cases

2013-10-10 Fir de Conversatie Ryuichi Hayashida
Hello.
I would report a bug of regexp.

* Problem

"aba" =~# '^\(.\+\).*\1$'

This expression is equivalent to 1 when 'regexpengine' is set to 1.
However, when it is set to 0 or 2, the expression is equivalent to 0.
Backward reference seems to fail.

Note that below expression gets 1 whatever the value of 'regexpengine' is.

"aa" =~# '^\(.\+\).*\1$'

* Environment
- Vim 7.4-45
- Ubuntu 12.04


Regards,
Hayashida Ryuichi
