Hrm, this seems to work for me.  Try adding these lines to the bottom
of tests/regression.tc, and then run "make test":

  testcase {
    input "safe ( 12 )";
    output "{1 2}";

    s = "safe" "(" [0-9]+ ")" /ws
    ws = [\r\n ]**
  }

Keep in mind that your grammar is written to reject files with
trailing whitespace (like the trailing \n that emacs adds to files).

Could you zip up a copy of your complete code and post it somewhere so
I can reproduce the problem?
