Follow-up Comment #1, bug #34440 (project octave):
This problem was caused when we switched to requiring PCRE for building Octave
but failed to notice that in this instance, POSIX regex functions are used
with no option for using PCRE functions.
This problem will likely be fixed in 3.6, but not in any future 3.4.x
release.
Do you really need the full power of regular expressions when using clear? By
default, the clear function uses globbing patterns to match symbol names, so
you can still write things like
clear a* b? c*d
etc.
