Something wrong with diff --color-words=regexp?

[Mike Hommey <mh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was trying to use --color-words with a regex to check a diff, and it appears
it displays things out of order. Am I misunderstanding what my regexp should be
doing or is there a bug?

$ git diff -U3 HEAD^ dom/base/nsDOMFileReader.cpp 
diff --git a/dom/base/nsDOMFileReader.cpp b/dom/base/nsDOMFileReader.cpp
index 6267e0e..fa22590 100644

     }
     if (mDataFormat != FILE_AS_ARRAYBUFFER) {
-      mFileData = (char *) moz_realloc(mFileData, mDataLen + aCount);
+      mFileData = (char *) realloc(mFileData, mDataLen + aCount);
       NS_ENSURE_TRUE(mFileData, NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY);
     }

(This is with 2.3.0)

Cheers,
