Created attachment 6487
  --> http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=6487
test program for bug demonstration

I compile regular expression with REG_EXTENDED | REG_ICASE (see attached
program)
Then run it as following:

(First parameter - regular expression, second - text to match)

1. ./r '[ ](4[0-9]{15})|(4[0-9]{12})[ ]'       ' 4123456789012 ' - match
2. ./r '[ ](4[0-9]{15})|(4[0-9]{12})[ ]'       'r4123456789012'  - no match
3. ./r '[ ](4[0-9]{15})|(4[0-9]{12})|(AAA)[ ]' 'r4123456789012'  - match
4. ./r '[ ](4[0-9]{12})|(4[0-9]{15})|(AAA)[ ]' 'r4123456789012'  - no-match

1. Match, as expected - second group (4[0-9]{12})
2. No, match as expected.
3. Match, when should not be
4. Just for interest - swap second and first group 4[0-9]{12} and 4[0-9]{15}
   and all of sudden it works as expected.

Attached program can be compiled with

gcc -Wall r.c -o r

I tested it on systems with following glibc versions:
- 2.3.2 Fedora Core 1, both i386 and x86-64
- 2.11  Fedora 12 - x86-64
- 2.5   CentOS release 5.6 (Final) - i386
