Firstly, you should not expect group 1 to be set; the parentheses after
"Send" will be numbered 2. This works fine for me when I use pcretest
under Linux:
$ pcretest
PCRE version 7.7 2008-05-07

0: Send(10/06/2008-07:45:06.668)
1: <unset>
2: 10/06/2008-07:45:06.668

I am not a Windows user, so I cannot test it under windows.
