Problem understood and a fix is in progress.

Patch to set default backtrack destination for first parens in nested parens

Patch to set default backtrack destination for first parens in nested parens

R+ to get ToT working again.  Does this now mean the prior fix is redundant, can we roll it out?

Updated Patch to handle the first nested paren, not just when the first nested term is a paren

Thought about this a little more after posting the initial patch.  The initial patch solves the problem where the first paren in a nested paren is the first term.  I tried it with patterns where there is some other non-paren term first in an alternative and it didn't work.  I have modified the fix to work for the first paren term in an alternative and it works for the original RE as well as one with a non-paren term inserted before the first nested paren.

Examples:
   The original bug was for the RE: /^\s*((\[[^\]]+\])|(u?)("[^"]+"))\s*/
   and the problem was the (u?) wasn't backtracking to the first (.

   If the RE is modified by (the inserted X's):/^\s*(X(\[[^\]]+\])|X(u?)("[^"]+"))\s*/
   then the original patch won't work.  The default backtracking for the (u?) is still
   broken.  The updated fix counts nested parens instead of using the term number
   and works for both the original and modified REs.

[Michael Saboff]

BTW, the prior fix is (mostly) needed due to handling of backtracking to the "next char".  There is some redundant code from the prior fix that can be removed, but not the whole patch.
