  When using specific regular expressions in data correlation
  rules file, the "Re-correlate data" wizard and the "Generate
  test" wizard may report the error "Unbalanced ( in regular
  expression" or "Unbalanced ) in regular expression" although
  all regular expressions used in the file are actually
  correct. This happens on regular expressions that use the
  character class feature (e.g. [a-z] or [.-$;]) and include
  the characters '(' and/or ')'.
