   Nice. And there I was trying something else already.
   Anyway, your trouble may probably be due to the configure script
   loading the incorrect regex.h after all; TRE is interface conpatible
   with the other POSIX ones IIRC, so mixing regex.h header files doesn't
   hurt as long as you don't use the TRE extended features, like p->value

The problem is that the other regex packages do not have counted-length
strings (instead, they depend on NUL-terminated strings).

This means if you have data that contains embedded NULs, those regex
packages FAIL!

That was why we went to TRE- because it supported counted-length 
strings.
