For you it works when you use a recompiled (w/UTF-8 support) libpcre.
For Kelly it works when he gives the debugging (-g) flag to the
compiler.  In both cases, I think memory is just being rearranged such
that the problem doesn't manifest itself by crashing in the same way.
But the underlying problem is likely still there and it could start
crashing with different flags or with the next release.  So while
these workarounds may be useful for the moment in allowing you to use
version detection, we really need to track down the problem and find a
real solution.  Do we have any volunteers (with an OS X Intel box) to
give it a shot?

Cheers,
Fyodor
