I wanted to make it reenterant one of these days.  This is a tiny
change, and should have been done a year ago, instead of introducetion
of these nasty PL_regcc etc globals.  Given Sarathy attitude, I do not
know now.

Note, however, that this is an absolutely unrelated problem.  The only
way REx engine can "reenter" is via UTF8-support, or (?{}).

Month?!  All one needs is to change a handful of macros.
