Hi Philip,

Thanks for the response.

I'm glad you got it working, and will encourage mIRC's Khaled to update to
PCRE2 to resolve this and similar errors. If you have a moment, could you
clarify where this handling has been added to pcre2demo? I think I'm looking at
the correct page (https://www.pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2demo.html) but I
can't find any differences there or added documentation as compared to pcredemo
in the way that empty matches are found.

Also, if you have a moment to indulge my curiosity further, might the following
changes quite easily solve this issue in both lookaround cases:

The logic here is that ovector[0] should play no part in deciding the position
of the next start_offset since it could have been distorted by the user.
Basically, the application should look at the positions where successive
matches are _ending_ in order to determine whether an empty string was matched
or not. Is this logic flawed?
