Hi,

yes it seems there is a rubbish after the 'b'. However, I don't see this behavior in the recent release (under Linux at least), and your binary is half year old. Could you try it with a newer version?

Anyway I suspect the result is correct (it start with b), just the printing does not stop after the end of the input. This might be a pcretest or windows libc bug.

Regards,
Zoltan
