One possibility is to try the newest version of the regex code from glibc
and see if that's more stable.
Writing a test to see if a program crashes is fairly easy. We'd use
AC_TRY_RUN which would fail if it coredumped. We could also just use the
system default regex.h if defined by using AC_REPLACE_FUNCS
