bug#15959: 24.3.50; align.el not working

[Xue Fuqiao]

-------------------------------------
int var = 2;
int variable_is_kinda_long = 3;
int var_is_less_long = 4;
-------------------------------------

To reproduce this bug:

  emacs-24.3 -Q
  C-x b foo RET
  M-x c-mode RET
  <Yank the code above>
  C-x h
  M-x align-regexp RET = RET

The result is:

----------------------------------------
int var = 2;
int variable_is_kinda_long = 3;
int var_is_less_long = 4;
----------------------------------------

Then:

  emacs-24.3.50 -Q
  C-x b foo RET
  M-x c-mode RET
  <Yank the first code fragment>
  C-x h
  M-x align-regexp RET = RET

Surprisingly, the result is:

----------------------------------------
int var  = 2;
int variable_is_kinda_long= 3;
int var_is_less_long  = 4;
----------------------------------------
