Comment (by johnmaddock):

 Since someone asked, and for future reference, most of the issues fixed
 here relate to parsing invalid regular expressions. The only runtime
 issues relate to recursive regular expressions: one infinite loop for some
 inputs, one memory leak, and one compiler/platform portability issue. The
 actual fixes are all labelled "de-fuzz" here:
