- I can confirm this also, in 7.2.4 at least. I don't have time to
- track it down unfortunately. mush is compiled using regcmp() and
- friends, if that's any help. regcmp is mentioned in the error message.
- It appears regcmp is being passed an unitialized pointer.
-
- Is this problem present when mush is compiled with re_exec() (or
- whatever the alternative to regcmp() is)?
