Nope, no idea either.  However one thing that can happen: the regex library
initializes itself when it's first used, but then doesn't free itself until
the program exits, in fact with a dll regex lib, the regex cleanup occurs
after your exe has terminated doesn't it?  So maybe this "asynchronous"
behaviour could the cause of your problems, but I can't be sure.
