I can reproduce the problem, and I think I can guess its cause. In the
table, there are some ARABIC-INDIC characters in the middle of the
ARABIC characters. And also an AFGHANI character. I suspect that the
program that reads the Unicode table and turns it into a table for PCRE
to use gets confused by this, and "loses" some ARABIC characters.
Thank you for the report. I will try to get this bug fixed for the next
release.
