 }}}

When Peller at Dojo entered my regex pattern shown above (which matches urls and works nicely in javascript) in plain Rhino (including the latest release) it comes back with a syntax error on the "~" near the end.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I found this using Shrinksafe online, which outputs "null" with any script containing this line of code.
2. Peller at Dojo entered in "plain Rhino", but I know nothing about how that is done.
3.
Actual Results:  
"a syntax error on the "~" near the end."

The pattern works in all recent versions of Rhino I've tried it with (including 1.7R3 and current git).
