[Python-bugs-list] test_re fails in CVS from 07/19/00 (PR#404)

Version: 2.0 CVS (07/19/00)
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 2.2

A few weeks ago I noticed that the CVS version of Python 2.0 fails in test_re.
This is with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (libc 2.1.3 FWIW). 

When running test.regrtest.main(), the error message is:

  test test_re failed --
     Writing: '=== Failed incorrectly', expected: "('abc', 'abc', 0, 'fou"

When running test.test_re() standalone, the error goes like this:
