Bug introduced between v1.4.1 and v2.0 in commit 3eb727125f119e1fbc19ba67449838c3f91cd9f6
Author: Hans-Peter Deifel
Date:   Tue Jun 21 16:56:30 2016 +0200

    Set locale to user preferred one

    This enables some unicode awareness in regcomp/regexec if the user has
    set a UTF-8 loacle.


Specifically the change was the addition of:

   locale::global(locale(""));
