If, for example, the correct results of the replacement operation is 1234, and fmt is '$0', we'll eventually get one of the following: - 12340 - $0 (The last digit of the erroneous result is usually the digit number from the format). I'm attaching a sample program that demonstrates the problem. We've seen this problem on Linux (RedHat 9, gcc version 3.2.2 20030222) and on several other platforms. }}}" Bugs closed regex None Duplicate
