Got it.

We'll need some NUL-including tests for this then, if my hackles are
to be believed.


BTW: PCRE is not there yet, but is visible on the horizon. Not as a
crmregex_pcre.c but rather a 'crmregex_portable.c' which includes
support for TRE/PCRE/... - it's harder to keep the caching code in
sync right now than cope with a few #ifdef's in there, at least for
me.


IIRC: the bug in Hyuperspace has not been fixed, but I'll have to
recheck with the latest WGET/Hyperspace before I can say for sure that
that issue has been fixed. Remember there was the little something
with VT itself and then there was this bit in HS itself. Turned out
that the initial round of rewriting those loops didn't work out okay
(you did that because my patch didn't take).
No worries, I have to check again anyhow.
