>             Project: Harmony
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Classlib
>    Affects Versions: 5.0M13

> All of the following should print true:
>         P = Pattern.compile("^(?:a{1}:){5}a$");
>         System.out.println("P = "+P);
>         System.out.println("Simple char with 5 separators: "+P.matcher("a:a:a:a:a:a").matches());
>         P = Pattern.compile("^(?:[a]:){5}a$");
>         System.out.println(" Char class with 5 separators: "+P.matcher("a:a:a:a:a:a").matches());
>         P = Pattern.compile("^(?:[a]{1}:){5}a$");
>         System.out.println(" Char class w/{1} and 5 sep/s: "+P.matcher("a:a:a:a:a:a").matches());
>         P = Pattern.compile("^(?:[a]{1}:){4}a$");
>         System.out.println(" Char class w/{1} and 4 sep/s: "+P.matcher("a:a:a:a:a").matches());
>         P = Pattern.compile("^(?:[a]{1,4}:){4}a$");
>         System.out.println(" Char class w/{1,4} + 4 sep/s: "+P.matcher("a:a:a:a:a").matches());
>         P = Pattern.compile("^(?:[a]{1,4}:){5}a$");
>         System.out.println(" Char class w/{1,4} + 5 sep/s: "+P.matcher("a:a:a:a:a:a").matches());
> but on harmony they print:
>   Simple char with 5 separators: true
>    Char class with 5 separators: true
>    Char class w/{1} and 5 sep/s: false
>    Char class w/{1} and 4 sep/s: false
>    Char class w/{1,4} + 4 sep/s: true
>    Char class w/{1,4} + 5 sep/s: false
> (Yes.  That's right just changing the {4} to {5} and adding an extra 'a:' to the string causes the last one
> to break.)
> I found this while running the Apache HttpComponents HttpClient 4.1-alpha2 tests on the (potential) milestone releases.
