+       * src/expr.c (docolon): Test (re_buffer.re_nsub > 0) rather than
+       searching for `\(' to determine whether to return 0 or the empty
+       string.  Before it would improperly return '' if the pattern
+       contained a substring like this: `\\('.  From Karl Heuer.
+       For example, running expr c : '\\(' should print `0'.

        * lib/getdate.y (OtherTable): Interpret `next' as 1 (not 2) units.
