I did this, and tested all dependnet modules. I couldn't easily reproduce
the problem with gimp-perl, but sdf still fails to work, and I still
encounter difficult-to-reproduce problems with pdl.

I am quite sure that the regex engine can't be the source, as neither PDL
nor gimp-perl uses them in the relecant parts.

I'll wait for _64 and test again. Sometimes problems happen to go away
with the next snapshot ;->
