Hi Joey,

What does "looks like" mean.  Did you research this, or just 
leave it to me? (I have limited time...) FWIW, as far as I can
tell (from reading the regcomp source), it looks like the 
man page is wrong. But it would assist in the future if you 
could have a shot at the leg work (if technically possible) 
on reports such as this. 

I have commented out that paragraph of the manual page,
and the change will appear in man-pages-2.03.

Cheers,

Michael
