I can't send mail to you. (rejected)
Please set nmatch argument of regexec() to 1, and use Oniguruma 3.2.1 or 2.3.1.
The nmatch argument should be array size of pmatch.
But I don't know whether this problem is related to the crash that you reported.

Oniguruma is a regular expressions library.
The characteristics of this library is that different character encoding
for every regular expression object can be specified.

Supported character encodings:
ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE,
EUC-JP, EUC-TW, EUC-KR, EUC-CN,
Shift_JIS, Big5, KOI8-R, KOI8,
ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-5,
ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9, ISO-8859-10,
ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-16

There are two ways of using of it in this program.

(1) C library (supported APIs: GNU regex, POSIX and Oniguruma native)
(2) Built-in regular expression engine of Ruby 1.6/1.8
In Ruby 1.9, Oniguruma is already incorporated by Kazuo Saito.
