I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. No, wait, that's
the wrong story.

I just tried to trip up procmail's regexp engine on various regexps
involving alternation and extraction, and I was unable to get it to to
do so. So, right now, the only regexp which I know it fails on is the
one documented on the todo list and its direct relatives. Any
pronouncements I've made about other regexps failing should therefore
be taken with a large grain of salt. I thought I knew more than I
actually do.
Sigh...
