[Bug regex/10106] one or more match problem?

compile the file and run.

According to the "regex" doc quoted below, it should work, but it doesn't-->
 3.4.2 The Match-one-or-more Operator (+ or \+)

If the syntax bit RE_LIMITED_OPS is set, then Regex doesn't recognize this
operator. Otherwise, if the syntax bit RE_BK_PLUS_QM isn't set, then `+'
represents this operator; if it is, then `\+' does.

This operator is similar to the match-zero-or-more operator except that it
repeats the preceding regular expression at least once; see section 3.4.1 The
Match-zero-or-more Operator (*), for what it operates on, how some syntax bits
affect it, and how Regex backtracks to match it.

For example, supposing that `+' represents the match-one-or-more operator; then
`ca+r' matches, e.g., `car' and `caaaar', but not `cr'.
