Bug #557: Regexp does not match longest string
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/557

Author: Wim Yedema
Status: Open, Priority: High

Regexp does not match the longest string, as do regular expression for Linux (or posix).
For example:

irb(main):001:0> r=/foo|footer/
=> /foo|footer/
irb(main):002:0> r.match('footer').offset(0)
=> [0, 3]

The same thing in C (see attachment), results in
match: 0, 6
