Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Look at the following code:

	make is
			-- Run application.
		local
			pattern, subject: UC_UTF8_STRING
			i, max: INTEGER_32
			matcher: RX_PCRE_MATCHER
		do
			from
				i := 0x442A
				max := i + 255
				create subject.make (256)
			until
				i > max
			loop
				subject.append_unicode_character (create
{UC_CHARACTER}.make_from_code (i))
				i := i + 1
			end
			create pattern.make_from_string (".*a.*")
			create matcher.make
			matcher.compile (pattern)
			print (matcher.matches (subject))
			io.put_new_line
		end

The result is "False" with patched Gobo Regexp.
But using UC_STRING, with original Gobo Regexp, the result is "False" too.
