          Components: Bro
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04. Dependencies from apt-get ubuntu repos only.
            Reporter: Brian Little

print split_all("some string", /^t/);

I would expect it to not match ^t, but it matches any t in the string.

output:
{
[1] = some s,
[3] = ring,
[2] = t
}


expected:
{
[1] = some string
}

tested on bro 2.1 and github master 2.1-824
