Re^5: Non-greedy match end of line bug?

Well JS claimed from the very beginning on to re-implement the Perl4 regex features.

So if anything, then it's JS which is buggy.

Furthermore, since when does JS support the /s flag? I can see that it works in FF now, but I can't find it documented in MDN !?!

Not long ago JS required a "weird" character class like [^] to also match newlines, alike . with /s flag in Perl.
