Re: Matches for multiline regexps

[Richard Stallman]

       4 matches for "11
       11" in buffer: bu
             2:11
             4:11
             6:11
             8:11

       I could not find out from the docs what those numbers in front of the
       11's are supposed to mean.  They are clearly not line numbers.

    Additional remark: from simpler examples. it appears that they are
    _intended_ to be line numbers.  If so, this is a bug.

Yes, it seems to be a bug in counting the line numbers.  Could you fix
that too?

Of course, it could simply count lines from the beginning to each
matching line, each time; but that would be terribly inefficient in a
large buffer.
