Hi,

So I spent some time with this issue and:

1) PetitRegex was never really working. I traced a history and implementation and a few tests were always failing. The problem is basically caused by the fact, that Petit does not backtrack (regex does)

2) Considering the fact, that PetitRegex parse only regular languages and with an extension I implemented for the islands and some extra effort, I was able to fix these errors.

3) The performance is probably bad, but it works (according to the test suite :)

4) I updated PPManifestMfParser to pass the tests as well

So in short, all the Petit* tests should pass now.

Cheers,
Jan

It is not supposed to fail, but it has been doing for a long time.

No. It fails, and it then returns a nil PPContext. That is an additional problem.
