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.
