Hi Norihiro,

Thank you for the example.

To illustrate the problem on the command line, I did this:

    $ printf '%s\n' baa aax aa 'aa rest' zz | src/grep -Ew '(a)\1'; echo
    aaaa

Note how it prints only the matching text, but neither
the newline of line 3 nor the " rest\n" of line 4.

Does one of your patches fix that problem?
None of Paolo's 3-patch series appears to do so.

BTW, while the framework_failure function is used to handle unlikely
failures in several other test scripts, I've just noticed
that it is not defined.  I will fix that shortly.
