I can confirm this problem on AlmaLinux 9. It seems to be related to the use of pcre2 which wasn’t used before.
Well, that's unfriendly. I would suspect that it's related to the PCRE JIT. i.e. if you run it as root, the JIT can get executable memory. When you run it as a non-root user, the OS won't give the JIT executable memory.
Yes. Looks like PCRE2 with JIT needs selinux policies to work - disabling selinux will likely also fix the issue. We had to put PCRE2 in because Rocky10 and Debian13 don't include PCRE1 any more. But the configure script then automatically picked that for the existing OSes as well.
We can likely patch the code, and issue RPMs of 3.2.8-1. I don't think there's a need for an official 3.2.9 yet.
Yeah, I'm working on 3.2.8-2 packages to flip it back to PCRE1. Thanks Nick for debugging this one in detail. -- Matthew
