Hi,

	I'm trying to use the GNU regex routines that are available 
as part of _many_ GNU products. (emacs-18.58, gdb-4.5, xxgdb-1.06, to
name a few.)

	I'm running into problems using them on an Rs/6000 running
AIX 3.1  (or 3.2 for that matter.) Specifically, I'm trying to 
compile xxgdb on an rs/6000 and running into problems with Regexp 
parsing using these routines. 

	It SEGV's attempting recognize the most simple of regexp's 
like  '[ ]*'. 

	Has anyone been able to use these on an Rs/6000 ? I'd 
suspect that it is a memory leak which fails to get past AIX's
stringent memory management scheme. The same code works on a 
Sun and other platforms. 

	Has anyone got xxgdb working on an Rs/6000 ? 

	Is there a newer version of this code that I can ftp from
anywhere ? The regex.[ch] that is part of the above GNU products does
not seem to work on Rs/6000's.

	Any help will be appreciated. 

Thanks, 

-Shiva
