Bug in use of regexec(), or misunderstanding of regexps?

[Dave Alden]

Hi,
  I'm having trouble getting "LocateLineMatching" to work.  The line I'm trying 
to
match is "timeout=10", the string I've tried passing is "^timeout*", but it 
returns
7 in pmatch.rm_eo (this is under RedHat 8.0 and 7.3).  This means that it fails 
the
"pmatch.rm_eo == strlen(ip->name)" check.  Am I doing something wrong?
...thnx,
