The attached code worked fine in Python 2.3 and prior,
but broke in a recent version of Python 2.4 (I think
between the alpha and beta, but I'm not sure).  It now
causes a Segmentation fault, at least on my Linux boxes
(2.4.18 and 2.4.22).

For those not looking at the attachment, the code is
essentially:
import re
re.match (...big regular expression..., 'December 20,
1997', re.IGNORECASE)

The code works if the re.IGNORECASE flag is omitted.
I hope I'm not doing anything stupid in installation...
I tried both CVS head and 2.4c1, both with-pyalloc and
without-pyalloc.
