    Problem Summary TSD4C.00068 Test may fail because of alternate backreference implementations.
    Problem Text
    The tests may fail because of alternate backreference implementations.

    We believe the GA136 and GA137 test functions rely on behavior
    which POSIX interpretation pasc-1003.2-43 ruled implementation
    specific.

    GA136 tests the following:

    BRE=a\(b\)*c\1 String=acb

    It expects the BRE to match the string. The interpretation
    ruled that it may also match nothing at all.

    GA137 tests the following:

    BRE=a\(b\)*c\1 String=acb
    BRE=a\(b\(c\(d\(f\)*\)\)\)\4 String=xYzabcdePQRST

    Whether these patterns match something or nothing at all
    was also ruled implementation specific.

    The test assertions should remain, but these specific patterns
    should be removed from the tests. The other patterns tested
    are not subject to interpretation.
