the boundary matcher "\b" doesn't seem to work

           Summary: the boundary matcher "\b" doesn't seem to work
           Product: Regexp
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: regexp-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mihai.dragan@caatoosee.ro


there might be a problem with the RE class when using the "\b" boundary matcher.
for example the "\bcomputer" expression will match the string "supercomputer",
when it shouldn't. try this in REDemo. you should get the error.
