Hi Jim,

> So grep worked on HP-UX before because it was using the system regex code?

I don't know. Maybe GNU grep never worked on HP-UX hppa? Or maybe it worked
only when compiled by gcc? Or maybe the machine I have access to has a
particularly buggy cc compiler? Or maybe GNU grep worked as long as gnulib
contained the "old" GNU regex code and stopped working when we pulled in the
new regex from glibc? I don't know.
