The character code for the last character before the closing quote is 0xA9, which might be the start of some composite character in the encoding you use locally, swallowing the following closing double quote.
Anyway, I think the code in question is at least very bad style because is uses a non-ASCII character, which gives you all sort of portability problems. Maybe it should be replaced with "Copyright|\\(c\\)|\xA9".
I think that's right, thanks for letting me know what the character code is, saves me looking it up :-) And this reminds me: we really should have regression tests for the tools integrated into the test framefwork, it would have picked this up earlier. Thanks, John.
