Actually, your comments do not help. If speed is not the only issue, then could you explain why you think the patch is not sufficient? I have not looked at enough of perl's guts to be able to understand why you think that this patch is broken--certainly not with a quick inspection. I do know that in our testing this patch appears to fix the regexp/threads bug. Please take the time to explain yourself, and if you have a suggested alternative fix, then explain it well enough so that we can understand what you think the issues are.
