I have applied the patches that are needed to get rid of the sanitize messages,
not bothering with the short shifts in pcre_jit_compile, partly because that is
not my code (though I have a applied a couple that did generate output).

The "correct" fix (which I have applied) is this:

if (extra != NULL && (extra->flags & PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA) != 0)

There will be a new (and probably final) release of PCRE1 shortly.
