Alas, still getting some test failures from r1235 on 64-bit Windows with
icl:

Test 2: "API, errors, internals, and non-Perl stuff"
           failed executing command-line:
             "...\pcre-build-debug\pcretest.exe"  -q      "...\pcre-8.33-RC1"\testdata\testinput2 >testout8\testoutput2
Test 2: "Test with Study Override"
           failed executing command-line:
             "...\pcre-build-debug\pcretest.exe"  -q -s     "...\pcre-8.33-RC1"\testdata\testinput2 >testoutstudy8\testoutput2

(likewise with the 16- and 32-bit tests)

All the testout{,study}{8,16,32}/testoutput2 files are identical; I've
attached one of them.

http://www.teragram.com//-- This set of tests is not Perl-compatible. It checks on special features

    of PCRE's API, error diagnostics, and the compiled code of some patterns.
    It also checks the non-Perl syntax the PCRE supports (Python, .NET, 
    Oniguruma). Finally, there are some tests where PCRE and Perl differ, 
    either because PCRE can't be compatible, or there is a possible Perl 
    bug.
    
    NOTE: This is a non-UTF set of tests. When UTF support is needed, use
    test 5, and if Unicode Property Support is needed, use test 7. --/
