If, after the above, you still see the problem, please save a copy of
your config.log file (evidence! to send here). Then you can probably
work around it by rebuilding with ./configure --with-included-regex
That will ensure that you use the regex code bundled with coreutils,
which may be less buggy than what's in your systems C library.
Yes, I had built the coreutils myself. I had built the package with
icc, the Intel C Compiler, version 9.1.044. When I rebuild with gcc,
no problem occurs.
