Right, well checking here shows that pan-0.14.2.90 uses libpcre but not
libpcreposix. pan-0.14.2.91 uses both, so that looks like something is
not right with Pan's view of my libpcreposix.so library. It definitely
has UTF-8 support compiled in though.

I also see a new Pan cvs fix that shows some sort of changes related to
utf-8 that might have something to do with it. Not sure of the
significance though as it isn't in a file obviously relating to scoring.

I got the latest 4.x version that is listed on the Fedora pages, that is
the successor to RawHide stuff for RH. I am still using 7.3 on this box
though, but even RH9 is using pcre 3.9 in standard state.

I have reverted to 0.14.2.90 for now until I resolve this, I'll see if
anyone else has any comments about this here.
