Bug#837966: libghc-regex-pcre-dev: problem when searching within a unicode string

[Brian Sammon]

Package: libghc-regex-pcre-dev
Version: 0.94.4-7
Severity: normal

When I try to run a program that searches for a (ASCII) string in a
UTF8-encoded string, I get a wierd "off-by-one" error:
I expect
  title is |Page Title|
I get
  title is |age Title'|

I can't find any docs that say I'm doing it wrong, or that I have to do
things a specific way to get unicode support.

(hopefully) A test-case haskell script is attached.
