Hello I'm the author of Config::Augeas [1], the Perl bindings to Redhat's Augeas library [2].
Long story short, the regexp engine built deep in Augeas has a problem only when augeas is run from a Perl program (through Config::Augeas). The same call (aug_init and aug_print) run directly from a C program has not problem. The same call from from Perl on i386 (32 bits) has no problem. See [3] for more details on the problem. Has anyone a hint about where I should look to investigate this problem ? All the best [1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-Augeas/ [2] http://augeas.net [3] https://www.redhat.com/archives/augeas-devel/2009-January/msg00019.html -- Dominique Dumont "Delivering successful solutions requires giving people what they need, not what they want."
