Well, the workaround in a program's code is trivial (if (extra)
pcre_free_study(extra)).

I think the only issue is that if long term support distributions package and
ship PCRE 8.21 (i.e. with JIT, with this bug, but without 16-bit support), then
the workaround would be needed in programs for a long long time. Are other
bugfix releases planned before the release of the 16-bit support?
