+Summary: Regex doesnt like A{,2} for repitition bounds
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+If you try to create a regular expression using {,n} as the specified
+bounds you get an exception, rather than it equating to {0,n}.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. 
+
+using System;
+using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
+
+class t1
+{
+  static void Main(string [] args ) {
+    new Regex("a{,1}");
+  }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: parsing "a{,1}" - Illegal
+{x,y} - bad value of x.
+Parameter name: a{,1}
+in <0x00096>

+in <0x00012> System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex:.ctor (string)
+in <0x00022> t1:Main (string[])

+
+Expected Results:
+None of those nasty exception things.
