    Fix another ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions. · b5a66e73
    Tom Lane authored
    While poking at the regex code, I happened to notice that the bug
    squashed in commit afcc8772 had a sibling: next() failed to return
    a specific value associated with the '}' token for a "\{m,n\}"
    quantifier when parsing in basic RE mode.  Again, this could result
    in treating the quantifier as non-greedy, which it never should be in
    basic mode.  For that to happen, the last character before "\}" that
    sets "nextvalue" would have to set it to zero, or it'd have to have
    accidentally been zero from the start.  The failure can be provoked
    repeatably with, for example, a bound ending in digit "0".
    
    Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.
