in thread Bug or feature? s/// and the g option

AIUI, without the i, before the regex engine proper is entered, there's an optimization that makes it search for an XX followed later by a Y. That optimization rejects a match, and when that happens, it bypasses the bug that's setting $1 to undef. Seems to be fixed for 5.10.0.
