regexp.test alternates true and false return values on a matching string when
using the global flag. I think for this method the g flag should be ignored. See
the testcase.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Define a regexp with global flag
2.Do a regexp.test with a string that matches the pattern so it returns true
3.Do the test again and see it returning false

Actual Results:  
true false true false ...

Expected Results:  
true true true true ...
