[Bug classpath/28413] New: [regex] Pattern.MULTILINE | Pattern.DOTALL doesn't match ^ and $

[csm at gnu dot org]

The anchors ^ (start-of-line) and $ (end-of-line) don't match newline sequences
with options MULTILINE and DOTALL.

I'll attach a full test case, but in short, the pattern

  \\A^([A-Z]+) +([^ ]+) +HTTP/([0-9\\.]+)$.*^Host: ([^ ]+)$.*\r\n\r\n\\z

*should* match an HTTP request header that includes a Host: line. This pattern
matches successfully on Sun java 1.5.0_06, but not on Classpath CVS with jamvm.
