regexp test fails

[Michael D Godfrey]

It appears that the most recent patch to regexp:
2010-04-09  David Bateman  <address@hidden>

    * DLD-FUNCTIONS/regexp.cc (octregexp_list): Properly ignore
    zero-length matches in named tokens.


 causes the failure
 [t, nm] = regexp("John Davis\nRogers, James",'(?<first>\w+)\s+(?<last>\w+)|(?<last>\w+),\s+(?<first>\w+)','tokens','names');
 assert (size(t), [1,2]);
 assert (t{1}{1},'John');
 assert (t{1}{2},'Davis');
 assert (t{2}{1},'Rogers');
 assert (t{2}{2},'James');
 assert (size(nm), [1,1]);
 assert (nm.first{1},'John');
 assert (nm.first{2},'James');
 assert (nm.last{1},'Davis');
 assert (nm.last{2},'Rogers');
!!!!! test failed
assert (nm.first {2},'James') expected
James
but got

====================================
t looks correct, but nm.last{2} returns blank.

Anyhow, I get this failure using latest source on:
