-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 When the regex tests are built with the ICU libraries, the
 regex_regress_threaded test randomly crashes in ICU interface tests.

 For example, when using ICU 4.4 with Boost (trunk) compiled with gcc 4.6.1
 on Ubuntu 11.10, the regex_regress_threaded test run ten times by a shell
 script outputs the following:

 {{{
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 no errors detected
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
   what():  basic_string::_S_create

 **** exception(210): signal: SIGABRT (application abort requested)
 ******** errors detected; see standard output for details ********
 }}}

 I have also tried compiling the ICU library from source for versions 4.4,
 4.6, 4.8 and 4.9 and similar crashes are reported from the ICU interface
 tests.
