When I make it under Linux, the pcre library gets statically linked in,
so these issues don't arise. It's not obvious why you are getting different
behavior.
I doubt that hypermail should be installing libpcre - it would be hard to
know whether that would interfere with other software that uses different
pcre versions.

It was used. It's unclear why any of the recent changes would affect linking.
We did upgrade the version of pcre, but I don't see anything suspicious that's
associated with that.
