I'm closing this old Grep bug report, on two grounds:

* I can no longer reproduce the the problem on Fedora 35 x86-64, using 
Norihiro Tanaka's test case <https://bugs.gnu.org/19420#20>. This 
suggests the PCRE library has been fixed.

* GNU Grep has switched to PCRE2, so PCRE bugs shouldn't matter now. See 
<https://bugs.gnu.org/47264>.
