Re: i386-cmov1.c broken

I found this as part of our QMTest work.  When running the QMTest
version of the tests, we got failures here -- because we were
interpreting the regular expressions using multi-line rather than
whole-document rules.  So, this was a bug in the QMTest emulation, but
it did, as you say, find a real problem in the compiler.

The real conclusion of all of this is that the tests are using a bad
user-interface; Tcl's default semantics for "." in regular expressions
are not what most people expect, so we tend to write broken tests.
