I can see how this happens. You will probably find that [^\s] behaves
better. I think I know how to fix the problem in principle, but I have
not looked at the code. Unfortunately, 7.4 was released just last week
and there won't be a new release for a while. However, I will make sure
I do look at this when I next work on PCRE.
