>Environment:
System: NetBSD ed209 0.9a ED209#0 i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The re_comp/re_exec routines in the libcompat.a library use
the POSIX API for regcomp/regexec, but libcompat.a also contains
the older V8 regcomp/regexec routines => trouble.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
At least for me: replace current libcompat/4.3/regex.c with
libcompat/regex.c from NetBSD 0.9.
