Ulrich,
My mistake...not enough coffee yet this morning. I can indeed
reproduce this on a stock sed 3.0.2 when building with
./configure --with-regex=
make
make check
I get...
Patience, the dc.sed test is expected to take a while...
../sed/sed -n -f ../dc.sed < ./dc.inp >tmp.dc
make[2]: *** [dc] Error 139
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/howarth/sed-3.02/testsuite'
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/howarth/sed-3.02'
make: *** [check] Error 2
which yields a backtrace of...

Since I have reports of this on debian i386 as well it appears
that this is a cross-platform problem.
