That doesn't make any sense. Your pattern "(^: (.*?)(\r\n\r\n))" starts
matching : at the start of a line; your ovector 0 doesn't. Perhaps you
copied that wrong. Is it really meant to be "(^E: (.*?)(\r\n\r\n))"? If
so, there's still something wrong, because parentheses number 3 contain
only \r\n\r\n and yet your ovector buffer 3 contains other stuff.
Equally, I can't see why #2 should contain the E:. Perhaps you should
post your test program so we can see what the C looks like.
Note also that pcre_compile("\r\n"...) isn't the same as pcretest with
/\r\n/ but that shouldn't actually matter.
