Public bug reported:
The 14.04/15.04 pcre version doesn't match some inputs with possessive
qualfiers:
$ echo '"a"'|pcregrep '("([^b"]*+(b.)?)*+")*+'
$
Earlier versions (10.04, 12.04):
$ echo '"a"'|pcregrep '("([^b"]*+(b.)?)*+")*+'
"a"
$
this is fixed with the following upstream commit (that applies cleanly
to the 15.04 pcre):
http://vcs.pcre.org/pcre?view=revision&revision=1478
