Regex sadness

Dan Sugalski correctly pointed out that I was triggering different opcodes in the different subs. Here is a test that shows a correct example:

sub foo { my $re = shift; my $valid = shift; for(1..$i) { $foo =~/$re/; print "error $1 is not $valid\n" if($1 ne $valid); } } push @threads, IThread->create(\&foo,'(.)','b'); push @threads, IThread->create(\&foo,'.(.)','a'); push @threads, IThread->create(\&foo,'..(.)','r'); And BOOM SEGFAULT. :( Need to look at this in the weekend.
Thanks Dan!
