pcre/privoxy issue on MacOS 10.6?

[Georg Schwarz <georg.schwarz%freenet.de@localhost>]

When I'm installing www/privoxy on a Mac running 10.6.4, the resulting binary 
fails like this:

imac:privoxy schwarz$ work/privoxy-3.0.16-stable/privoxy --no-daemon 
/Users/schwarz/pkg/etc/privoxy/config
Nov 07 21:56:55.739 00000358 Info: Privoxy version 3.0.16

'/Users/schwarz/pkg/etc/privoxy/default.action': line 625: cannot create URL 
pattern from: /.*\.(gif|jpe?g|png|bmp|ico)($|\?)


However, when I uncomment the line

.include "../../devel/pcre/buildlink3.mk"

in Makefile before building, privoxy will use its own copy of pcre

but then things work with exactly the same config files:

imac:privoxy schwarz$ work/privoxy-3.0.16-stable/privoxy --no-daemon 
/Users/schwarz/pkg/etc/privoxy/config
Nov 07 22:01:35.645 00000358 Info: Privoxy version 3.0.16
Nov 07 22:01:35.646 00000358 Info: Program name:

Does pcre maybe not work properly on MacOS. It is pcre-8.10 which is installed 
through pkgsrc.
Can anyone reproduce that issue?
What should I do in order to pinpoint the root cause?
