OK, that's definitely wrong. It has somehow lost the \ but why?? It
should show this:

------------------------------------------------------------------
  0   4 Bra
  3     \D
  4   4 Ket
  7     End
------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, just for fun, why not try /\\D/ just to see what it says. (I am of
course, just guessing here.) Another thing to try might be to put /\D/
into a file and run "pcretest -d <filename>" to see if it is different
when reading from a file.
