Philip,

I propose to release exim 4.65 to fix this bug. It could be really harmful
(depending how the regular expression is used). I noticed major problems
caused by this bug on several servers after upgrading. A wrong result of
a regular expressions can produce a lot of funny things.

Magnus: thx for debugging and patch.

Happy holidays, Heiko.
