The .so will get unloaded after the executable, so the static regex instances might be the cause of the problem I suppose, but they really shouldn't be. If this does turn out to be the cause and you can put together a test case I'll look into it.

One more thought... where would be good places to put some good old-fashioned printfs in the regex code to detect when static initializer/destructors are being called? Would be interesting to see if I can catch the compiler in the act of destroying my static regexes *after* it has shut down the regex library code. Thanks for the quick attention, BTW.
