Sigh... I find I was confused and must correct that last paragraph...

Test test_sre imports re_test not test_re, and test_re also imports
re_test -- perhaps you'll understand my confusion.  Running test_sre
should *not* find Tim's bug, but running test_re should.  Test_sre has
no problem, test_re needs to be fixed, and re_test, used by both, is
fine.

Sigh...
