Description

=begin
There seems to be a bug in Ruby 1.9 regarding Regular Expression:

/(io){1}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 2 #fine
/(io){2}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => nil #should be 0
/(io){2,2}x/ =~ 'ioiox'# => nil #should be 0
#below are correct
/(?:io){2}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0
/(io){2}/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0
/(io){2,}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0
/(io){,2}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0
=end

There seems to be a bug in Ruby 1.9 regarding Regular Expression:

/(io){1}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 2 #fine

/(io){2,2}x/ =~ 'ioiox'# => nil #should be 0

/(io){2}/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0
/(io){2,}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0
/(io){,2}x/ =~ 'ioiox' # => 0

I would call this a severe bug.
