Whether 4.3 has the same problem or not is pretty immaterial. The fact is with BSDi 4.0.1, 4.1, and 4.2 htdig works fine with the C library regex code, so there's no good reason to believe it'll stop working in 4.3. Geoff's idea of checking for *-bsdi* should be fine. There's no pressing need to run the bundled regex code in all cases except where it fails. It's just that the C library regex code does cause problems for htdig on some other systems (e.g. old libc5-based Linux systems). BSDi isn't one of these systems. -- Gilles R.
