I hope you'll be home safely soon

notice that there are some more place you can consider:
- rubicon[1] used to be a test suite for the interpreter, ATM it is 
somewhat out of sync, but most of the regex tests still pass or have 
minor problems (i.e. a warning message is changed).
Sadly, cvs-HEAD seem to fail different tests than ruby_1_8, so it may be 
hard to replace the current engine ad it is now.

It would be nice if rubicon could be updated in the process :)


the second place is
- the test suite for the pure ruby regexp package[1] from
Simon Strandgaard. I think many tests may be uninteresting or duplicated 
WRT rubicon, but maybe it could be useful


About reporting: maybe you can use the bug tracker for ruby at rubyforge?
