As Bug#21513 is now fixed both in Gnulib (which grep uses when configured
--with-included-regex) and in Glibc (which grep uses when configured
--without-included-regex) I am marking the bug report as done.

Hi,

This command
grep -E '0|()0|\1|0'
will cause an assert error:
grep: regexec.c:1401: pop_fail_stack: Assertion `num >= 0' failed.


Happens both in the latest release (2.21) and the latest git code.

(this was found with american fuzzy lop)

cu,
