Log:
  MFC r317707:
  
  Correct an out-of-bounds read in regcomp when the RE is bad.
  
  When passed the invalid regular expression "a**", the error is
  eventually detected and seterr() is called. It sets p->error
  appropriatly and p->next and p->end to nuls which is a never used char
  nuls[10] which is zeros due to .bss initialization. Unfortunatly,
  p_ere_exp() and p_simp_re() both have fall through cases where they set
  the error, decrement p->next and access it which means a read from
  whatever .bss variable comes before nuls.
  
  Found with regex_test:repet_multi and CHERI bounds checking.
