regex failure

As noted before, URLs passed to url.c:url_parse() are failing here always. I've tracked down the point in url_parse() which does not seem to work correctly. The error must be related to the bundled regex library since it works with the system library. On line 132+ of url.c you find if ((err=regcomp(&re, "^(([^@:]+)(:([^@:]+))?@)?([^:@]+)(:([^:@]+))?", REG_EXTENDED)) || (err=regexec(&re, result, 10, subs, 0))) { regcomp() succeeds, but regexec() fails with REG_NOMATCH on my system (Linux/Alpha 2.2.10, glibc-2.1.1, egcs-1.1.2). I really don't know how to track that down further, since I'm not familiar with the regex code. Anyone want to give it a try? -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
