the new version of file uses a non-standard GNU extension to regex, namely
REG_STARTEND ... looking at the code, it seems like it isnt really required,
but i gave it like a 5 second glance :)
any way i could convince you to not use this extension ? :) if not, there's
some patches floating around to emulate the expected behavior when
REG_STARTEND does not exist ...
