I do love it when I go away for a bit and, when I get back, find that
somebody else has done all the work and found the bug that I was about
to work on. Thank you for diagnosing this. The patch is correct, though
I also had to add some casts to stop compiler warnings. I *did* manage
to reproduce the problem with pcretest: it was caused by calling
pcre_dfa_exec() with a vector length of zero, so this test file does it:
/abcd/
abcd\O0\D
I have committed the patched file, and updated the tests to include this
case (I also reworded the informative message to be a bit more clear).
