| Looks like you forgot to take out the old problematic regexps
| (as I wrote some time ago):
| 
| 100 regex/c =^\\s*call\\s+rxfuncadd.*sysloadfu OS/2 REXX batch file text
| 100 regex/c =^\\s*say\ ['"] OS/2 REXX batch file text
| 
| while providing the fixed ones:
| 
| 100     regex/c =^[\ \t]{0,10}call[\ \t]{1,10}rxfunc OS/2 REXX batch file text
| 100     regex/c =^[\ \t]{0,10}say\ ['"]      OS/2 REXX batch file text
| 
| so the CVE-2007-2026 DoS vulnerability is still applicable to 4.22.
| 
| See:
|   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2026

Thanks, I removed them. I don't know how they got in...
