Bug in LocateLineMatching?

[Harald Hannelius]

The docs say that LocateLineMatching should move the current-position
pointer to the start of the line matching the quoted regular expression.

However, this command;

 { /etc/lilo.conf
                LocateLineMatching "image = /boot/2.4.19"
                BeginGroupIfNoLineContaining "# 3 Feb 03"
                        InsertLine "# 3 Feb 03"
                        InsertLine "image = /boot/2.4.20/bzImage"
                        InsertLine "  label = 2.4.20"
                        InsertLine '  append = "video=matrox:vesa:0x1BB"'
                        InsertLine ''
                EndGroup
        }


Produes this lilo.conf;


...
image = /boot/2.4.19
# 3 Feb 03 Harald
image = /boot/2.4.20/bzImage
  label = 2.4.20
  append = "video=matrox:vesa:0x1BB"
...

Indicating that the curren-position pointer was at the end of the line,
not the start of the line.

Is this right?
