A regexp that is declared as a local variable of a function
keeps memory of the lastIndex property between successive
executions of the function.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the page:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function f(s){
var reg = /[abc]/g;
document.write(reg.lastIndex + " ");
var test = reg.test(s);
document.write(test + " ");
}
f("a");
f("b");
</script>
</head>
</html>
2. note what the browser shows
Actual Results:
0 true 1 false
Expected Results:
0 true 0 true
The regexp is declared inside a function; thus it should be
created afresh and properly initialized each time the
function is called. Instead, it seems that it is reused
from one execution to the next without having properly
been initialized each time.

I get the expected results on trunk. This was an ES spec change, as I recall; the behavior we used to have was what the spec used to say.
