Thanks, but that's not exactly "simple".  It requires to run a test
through an interpreter.  It would still be more helpful to get a simple
testcase in plain C or at least just the regular expression and the
string it stumbles over.  I would have to to the same, so I hoped that
somebody else would at least help to skip the preliminary steps, so I
can concentrate on actual debugging and fixing.
