I wonder if this discussion has any bearing on the fact the pattern
callouts stopped working in our application with pcre 7.2 (using shared
library configured with heap for recursion, Windows). Worked with 7.0
and 7.1. Now the application crashes when PCRE should be accepting the 0
or 1 result from the callout.
