Re: [bug-gawk] 4.0.0 Regex Patterns Choke on Exotic Chars

Hi Eli.

I looked into this for a bit and don't see any way to set the locale to
windows 1252 on Linux.  If there's a way with Cygwin I can try that.

Otherwise, it looks like a problem with compiling the regular expression.
Start with make_regexp and keep digging down.  You may want to try
compiling without optimzatin; I've seen the regex code break optimizers
before.

Thanks,

Arnold
