           Summary: Inline regex produces wrong results vs. creating new
                    RegExp object
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 417.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScript
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: pshah at zimbra.com


Basically creating a regex like this:

var regex = /^([^#<\u2264]+)([#<\u2264])(.*)$/;

does not give any results vs. creating a regex like this:

var regex = new RegExp("^([^#<\u2264]+)([#<\u2264])(.*)$");


This probably isnt a bug in most cases but see attachment for narrowed down
testcase where this is happening - comment out line 10 and uncomment line 9
(and vice versa) to see the bug. 

FF/IE work fine in both cases. Tested on Safari v2.0.3 (417.8) on OS X v10.4.4
