Just tried it, everything working fine now using 2.1.5 on Tiger and Leopard. Great work.

I'll definitely give 2.1.5 a go once it is released. I would check out the SVN repository but I am behind a firewall that does not like me very much.

in r4315 I added some code to automatically detect whether GNU-style word boundaries are supported by the OS' regex libraries, and if not convert the GNU-style word boundaries to the alternative style. I'll mark this as in progress, if you can give version 2.1.5 a try once it's relased and let me know how it works for you, that would be appreciated.

The samples provided for colour syntax highlighting don't work on Mac OS X because the of the word boundary markers \< and \>.

If these are replaced with [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] then the syntax highlighting works normally, however the latter doesn't work on GNU platforms.

I've tested this on Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard (10.4.11 and 10.5.4) and the problem and solution is identical.
