Perhaps I belong to the 1% of unlucky users that don't have to
wait that long ;-)

OK
Now:
> regexpr("A", "éA")
[1] 2
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 1
still OK
But:
> regexpr("A", "éA", useBytes=TRUE)
[1] 2
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 1
not OK anymore (3 expected, not 2)
Let's try with fixed=TRUE:
> regexpr("A", "éA", useBytes=TRUE, fixed=TRUE)
[1] 3
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 1
much better!
