I don't know if it is intentional or not, but there appears to be a two
typos (a space before the tab in the quote line and the & instead of a *)
in regexec.c:

/*
 *      One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
 &
 *     [p.v of _The Lord of the Rings_, opening poem]
 *     [p.50 of _The Lord of the Rings_, I/iii: "The Shadow of the Past"]
 *     [p.254 of _The Lord of the Rings_, II/ii: "The Council of Elrond"]
 */

I have attached a patch to fix these grave errors.
