3. I forgot to mension, that we managed to compile RegEX with SunOS C++ 5.5
both in 32 & 64 bits. There were no errors, BUT
        in 64 bits when we tried to run the rs/regress test - it failed
(something which didn't happen in the 32-bits version). 	There was
also a memory access violation, so even thought the compilation went just
fine - apparently the library is 
        not fully 64-bit compatible.

        What can we do to overcome this problem?

Thanks alot,
