Is it that P::RD depends on a bug in the current software, or that it's a bug in P::RD that is masked by a bug in current software, or that an undefined part of the regex interface changes reactions based on the patch, or that the patch introduces a *different* bug that triggers bad stuff in P::RD? That is, I'm unsure why "moving forward" breaks things. Is it just a matter that a patch is needed urgently in P::RD? Or does the patch also place at risk other unknown code? Then again, this is the maze-that-is-regex-code, eh? -- Randal L.
