Our regexp package doesn't match the final POSIX API. In particular regexec() was extended to allow match targets to be reported which we don't support.

Glibc has a possible candidate we could us, or we could update the one in the C library. That might be easier as the other implementations are much heavier and deal with things like unicode, wide chars and locales
