Regex Problem (Memory Corruption)

[Junyor]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu and trying to develop an application. I ran into something weird today. I need to use regular expressions, but both regcomp() and pcre_compile() crash my application with the error : "malloc() : memory corruption". Any ideas?
This is the PCRE version.

int isValidResponse(char *response) {
    pcre *regex;
    const char* err;
    int errOffset;
    int ovsize[30];
    
    regex = pcre_compile("hello[0-9]?", 0, &err, &errOffset, NULL);
    ...

Thanks,
-Tudor
