I briefly looked into getting that test working, but couldn't figure it out 
quickly, so I have reverted the fix for the regex reentrancy abort, in emacs-25 
commit 8e84823f3f06714d0668060d62456cf7e3100e6c.  This means Bug#21688 is no 
longer fixed, i.e., Emacs can dump core when aligning Perl code.  I'll reopen 
Bug#21688.

Perhaps Stefan or someone else will be able to knock a few cycles free to fix 
this. I'm afraid I've been spending most of my time elsewhere in Emacs recently, 
what with the new module code and all.
