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.
