Changes (by johnmaddock):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid

Comment:

 Neither "*" nor "abc**" are valid regular expressions: as a result
 Boost.Regex will throw a boost::regex_error exception.  It's up to you to
 catch the exception, if you don't then the program *will* terminate with
 an uncaught exception error.  This behaviour is intentional.

 HTH, John Maddock.
