bug#4209: 23.1; Emacs 23.1 regression in re-search-forward

This is a stab in the dark, but the patch below corrects this issue for me:

    $ ./retest.sh
    looking-at: t
    re-search-forward: 9

I don't see any reason this should cause regressions (searching
forward 0 steps seems to me it should be the same as searching
backward 0 steps), but I've only casually looked over regex.c.
