PCRE1 (the 8.xx series) is obsolete and will probably never have another
release (8.44 is recently out). All development happens in PCRE2 (the
10.xx series). As it is now 5 years since PCRE2 came out, expertise in
the PCRE1 code has faded away.

do you mean that {1} is *part* of a pattern? If so, what is the complete
pattern?

Not sure how to help other than to suggest an upgrade to a later release
of PCRE1 if you can do that. I am not an Android programmer.
