A Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server
2012 R2 are getting the following error with a drivedb.h update near
8/23/2014:
  drivedb.h(978): Error in regular expression: Empty '|' subexpression

The error seems to come from the change at:
http://www.smartmontools.org/changeset/3988
The change was done during: http://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/329

As a workaround, I changed the string on line 979 in drivedb.h from
"SanDisk SD6SB[12]M[0-9]*G(1022I|)|" to "SanDisk
SD6SB[12]M[0-9]*G(1022I)?|" on the computers I mentioned above.
