Sigh! The above is about pcre itself and we are talking here about
a code embedded in Python. Unfortunately this is an independet,
although related, issue. There are now bugzilla numbers for that
(#166335 and #168318) but AFAICS no releases so far.
Would you like, please, to write a corresponding bugzilla entry for
Legacy packages or we should ask David for that? It appears that he
already collected all data.
