I believe this one has been discussed here several times.

I can confirm this also, in 7.2.4 at least.  I don't have time to
track it down unfortunately.  mush is compiled using regcmp() and
friends, if that's any help.  regcmp is mentioned in the error message.
It appears regcmp is being passed an unitialized pointer.

Is this problem present when mush is compiled with re_exec() (or
whatever the alternative to regcmp() is)?
