Bug appears when using regexp.test on a className.

If the RegExp instance is recycled, it's test method will return false every
other time. 

I have not been able to replicate this by using textNode.nodeValue of the
paragraph. In that case, I get the expected result.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try the example
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See the example

Expected Results:  
Result should be consistent each time, no matter if the RegExp is new or recycled.
Actually, recycling the object _should_ affect what the .test() method returns.
