Hi Phillip,

I am still having problems with RC4.

My library default newline is any.

C:\pcre71RC4-EXP\build\.libs>pcretest
PCRE version 7.1-RC4 2007-04-04

re> /(?m)^$/g

re> /(?m)^$/g<any>

0:

BTW, there are various ".exe" files in my build dir (including a
"pcretest.exe") that are unreasonably small and do not work. The ones in
my .libs dir do work. I don't know if "make check" might be trying to
run the ones in the build dir (current dir while building), but the
"pcretest.exe" there does hang my DOS window if I try to run it.
