[issue11198] re sub subn backreferrence too few replacements

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

Argument 4 of re.subn(...) is 'count', the maximum number of replacements to perform, but you're passing in the MULTILINE flag, which happens to have the integer value 8, hence you're limiting the maximum number of replacements to 8.
