Subject: Change to /.../.match("foo") behaviour in 1.6.8?

In 1.6.7 and 1.7, I had the following line work:

      l, m1, m2 = /((?:\S+\s+){11})(.+)/.match(line)

This meant that #match return worked like an array. I was just 
running the unit tests on Text::Format (new release coming shortly) 
and the values were a MatchData, nil, nil. I've fixed this by 
explicitly using l[1] and l[2] when I need it, but has this changed, 
or did it work by accident previously? (I'm using 1.6.8 mswin32.)
