Problem: re-search-reverse with \= fails at the end of the buffer.
For example:
Create a buffer with a space as its only character.  Goto the end of file
and do a re-s..-rev.. for " \=".  The response is "Can't find it".
However, if the buffer instead had a space followed by a newline, the
same search done with dot between these 2 char's (correctly) moves the
cursor to the beginning of the file.
