Summary: re reads an uninitialized memory

Initial Comment:
With this script, re reads from an address beyond the 
end of the string.

>>> import re
>>> r = re.compile(r"\b1")
>>> print r.search('a', 1)

See assert() in the attached patch to see where 
incorrect memory reading occurs.
This patch looks fix the problem, but I'm not sure this is 
correct answer.
