But the latest glibc regex.[ch] is not compatible with the latest
released GNU grep dfa.[ch].  In particular, they don't handle "{"
compatibly.  For proper behavior you need to use a matched set of
source files.

I suppose that you could fall back to using the set from the latest
released GNU grep.  But I assume you upgraded regex for a reason....

Is the latest gawk alpha available?  Perhaps I could look for
inconsistencies between it and the grep version.  As far as I know, no
major maintenance has occurred with grep -- it's just bug fixing.
