There should be no difference between these. My guess is that 
you have somehow mixed versions of regex library/header files.
This is usually the cause of regular expression problems. For
instance, if you have the header file for solaris 8, but the
library for 7, or if you have GNU rx library somewhere, and you
are getting the header file from that, but the library from solaris
then this kind fo thing can occur. Otherwise, I have no idea why
there would be any change here.
