Thank you for the patch. I thought about this some more and decided that
it would be best to bring PCRE into line with Perl in all EBCDIC
environments, not just z/OS. I have therefore adapted your patch and
re-organized it a bit - but at the moment only in PCRE2. The error
message can trivially be re-worded for EBCDIC, and I've tried to imitate
Perl for the \c? handling.

The next thing I am going to do is to retro-fit the patch into PCRE1
(but not today). I'll email you when I have committed that code.
