I decided to play it safe, and removed these parts. In addition I extended the bulk tests to a C operator table and some forms of literals for the C-style languages so as to catch issues with non-matches. This showed that the python regex had the same typo as the ruby one. *blush*

Scott's problem still remains:

I briefly considered installing FC6 on a VM, but my VirtualBox is broken and I'm having a hard time finding a FC6 installation medium. Right now the only other systems I have are darwin 10.5 and RHEL5.5, and the test works on both.

So in the absence of any way of testing this, someone with a breaking system will have to investigate. I think it's worth including the series anyway, since the regexes give wrong results in the case of match failures, and we would want users to know about this.
