I found that htfuzzy (in ht://Dig 3.1.5) was dumping core when compiled
and run under BSD/OS 4.0.1 with all current patches. htdig itself and
htmerge were not doing so.

Some messing around with gdb showed that re_compile_fastmap in the GNU regex
code was crashing when called from Regex::Regex in the g++ library.

The very rough-and-ready fix that I used was to truncate htlib/regex.c,
which forced the system to use the library-internal version of the regex
code. I suspect you would be better off with a fix that simply supplied
a macro indicating whether the g++ regex code or an in-library version
should be used (or simply whether it should be included in the library).

If you wish to make such a change I can test it for you, but I'm afraid
I'm generally too busy to be a regular beta-tester. :-(
