disregard this version, it still broken (and wouldn't even build on some cases), the reasons why are still unclear though but at least it might seem from the last known run in windows that segfaults were prevented at last and something was still off enough to trigger a BUG (shouldn't be a concern with V6 or later that do PCRE2 migration to NED fully, as agreed) Thanks to Dscho's github integration to Azure pipelines got finally a RC[1] for V6 that at least passes all tests and will need to get in shape for submission. as René pointed out in three my performance concerns might be a red herring as well, but would be nice if someone with windows would definitely get some numbers so we can't be sure there were truly no regressions Carlo [1] https://github.com/carenas/git/tree/pcre2-chartables-leakfix
