** Description changed: regcomp fails to compile the regular expression "^ " with memory error - if malloc(0) returns NULL. That's valid malloc behavior, compare - malloc(3). + if malloc(0) returns NULL. That's valid malloc behavior, compare the man + page malloc(3). I had a little trouble debugging, but I believe the problem lies with - posix/regex_internal.c:re_node_set_alloc being called with size == 0. + posix/regex_internal.c:re_node_set_alloc being called with size == 0, + and then treating the zero return value as an error. I'm attaching a test program that should exhibit the bug. ETA: I've tested this with libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10_amd64 under VMWare.
