why does /\[^\s] not find the character 's'?

greetings!

when i do a search using:

     /\[^\s]

it behaves as it shd, i.e., it finds anything that's not a whitespace, EXCEPT it will not find the character 's'.

i'm using vim under ubuntu 12.04

when i do 'vim --version' i get:

    VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Nov 15 2012 00:32:35)

    Included patches: 1-330
