Bug in dired-mark-sexp

[Mattis]

I'm running GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 on Windows XP and
dired-mark-sexp does not work. The error message I get is:

dired-mark-sexp: Search failed:
"\\(Jan\\|Feb\\|Mar\\|Apr\\|May\\|Jun\\|Jul\\|Aug\\|Sep\\|Oct\\|Nov\\|Dec\\)"

I'm almost sure that this is because of how the dired
buffer looks like:

  z:/Docmaw/Core/Docmaw 2.2.0/Docmaw/Source/Java/ifs/Docmaw:
  total used in directory 2333 available 46509008
  drwxrwxrwx   1 mdahse   root            0 06-15 15:35 .
  drwxrwxrwx   1 mdahse   root            0 06-15 15:35 ..
  -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdahse   root        41713 2003-10-13

  -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdahse   root        34001 2002-12-26 
ApprovalCurrentStepOvw.java
  -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdahse   root         3630 2003-02-12  BookListLov.java

I have tested this using --no-init-file --no-site-file and
it still gives these kinds of dired lines.

When I test on my Mandrake box at home I get the names of
the months displayed in the dired buffer, and this of
course makes dired-mark-sexp much more happy.

Is this a bug or have I fscked up?

Another guy, Klaus Straubinger, got the same error on Linux so my
theory that it was because of the missing month names in my Windows
emacs seemed wrong. See the articles on gnu.emacs.help for more info.
