yeah, I guessed so - that pcre doesn't know the :blank: extension, though 
my 'man pcre' says nothing about avail classes, so I asked 'perldoc perlre' 
hoping for equivalence, but this doesn't seem the case - pcre seems a 
subset of perlre.  
Indeed, I've found anubis dies with sig11 also on $* at end of re (perhaps 
on any wrong re, so patch should fix this one as well): 
here pcre was "\s*X-Anomy.*$*":

[24241] pcre_compile() failed at offset 12: nothing to repeat.

while trying to get rid of the \n at end of line - while $* and [\n\r]* 
and \W* do the trick in a perl one-liner (as well as m//ms), there seems 
to be no way to just delete one line with 'modify body', as the required 
subst pattern puts at least a \n anyway.

actually, replaced by a void line (\n), see above - so, is there a way
to just fully delete a line (like in the non-working example in info-page)?
