OK, upon closer examination, it appears I was mistaken about one point.
3.1.2 doesn't use the regex code in the C library, but rather it bundles
the GNU regex code in the package, and puts it in htlib/libht.a.
The extern "C" construct above doesn't work because htlib/regex.h
already includes this construct - that's why it was removed from
htfuzzy/Endings.cc.
So, perhaps this GNU regex.c code is causing a conflict with your C
or C++ library. If you already have a regex.h in your /usr/include
directory, and regex functions in your C library, you might want to try
using these instead of the ones in htlib. To do this, I think you'd need
to remove references to regex.o from htlib/Makefile, remove regex.o from
htlib/libht.a, and probably also remove htlib/regex.h. If this works,
let us know, and hopefully tests for this can be patched into configure,
so that it gets done automatically on BSDI systems for future ht://Dig
releases.
If it doesn't work (and I admit it's a long shot if it does), then we'll
need to dig deeper to find the source of the conflict. The segfault was
in bzero() - maybe BSD and GNU have different ideas about how bzero is
supposed to work, and you may need to fiddle with some of the definitions
for regex.c.
