Hello,
When processing a simple extended regular expression, GNU grep hits an
assertion. This is reproducible on the latest commit from master
branch 51dacfb (Sep 19).
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ gdb -q --args ./grep -E "(|()()0)\2"
Reading symbols from ./grep...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) r
