Regexp bug ? \<(word|word)\> does not match

2000-09-01 01:27:21
Hello folks. I've found that the regexp engine in procmail v3.15
2000/08/25 does not seem to be able to find matches for a regexp
like

  \<(several|words|to|match)\>

I've worked around it by using <\several\>|\<words\>|... instead
but shouldn't the original regexp match ? For what it's worth,
GNU egrep has no problem with it.
