Well, according to Jeffrey Friedl in ORA's _Mastering Regular
Expressions_, none of the regexp implementations (egrep, emacs, perl,
.NET, etc.) is fully compliant with the POSIX standard (and I guess your
comment here tells me that OpenLDAP implements its own).  But that said,
I guess it's unlikely that I'll be crafting a RE of such sophistication
and subtlety that I'll expose any of those non-compliancies. ;-)

Thanks, Tonni.
