vi: '.' in search strings broken?

[Thomas Klausner <wiz%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

Hi!

I'm using vi on amd64-current from Feb 16.
The dot ('.') doesn't seem to work in regex/search strings any longer.

When I try
:%s/:.*
to delete from ':' to end of line, only the ':' is deleted.

Also, searching for '.' gives no matches. Searching for '\.' still
works.
Searching in less(1) works as usual.

Anyone else seeing this?
