+	* 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.
