[erlang-bugs] error in re:split on R14B02 and R14B03

[Patrick Baggett]

Well the point was to check if there might be a reason like compiler
optimization that was causing it. Usually debug builds don't have extremely
heavy optimization enabled and if that was the cause, it would automagically
disappear. Since it isn't the problem, I don't really have good ideas other
than debugging Erlang itself.
