when disabling regex implicit check string we must reset anchored flag
It seems that if a regex check string is determined to be "not useful"
it is permananently disabled. However, it appears that when doing this
we dont necessarily reset any flags that are related to it.
Worse, the behaviour is not determinisitic, so it is quite possible that
a given program may experience this bug "randomly" based on what strings
it was matching. Thus it may be difficult to reproduce.
Resetting the RXc_ANCH_MBOL when we know that it is implicit
(PREGf_IMPLICIT) seems to fix /this/ particular example. But it wouldn't
surprise me to discover that other "random" bugs we encounter can be
traced back to this behaviour.
This fixes RT #75878 which is derived from ActiveState Bug #87173.
