Bug Strange RegExp Behaviour

Hello,

I was trying to identify lines who has a word of the following pattern "xyyx" (where x, and ys are different characters).

I was trying the following grep -
Code:
egrep '(\S)([^\1])\2\1'

This pattern do catches the wanted pattern, but it also catches "GGGG" or "CCCC" patterns. I was trying to check this on different regex infrastructure and it worked fine (catched only the wanted pattern).

Does anyone has an idea how to change the regex so it catches only the wanted pattern?

To summarize the problem - you can check -
Code:
echo 'GGGGGG' | egrep '(\S)([^\1]\2\1'

Thanks a lot in advance!
Eyal.
