That sounds like what I'm seeing!  And now that you point it out, there
is a bug in the PHP that calls this function that passes an empty string
('') instead of a NULL.  Thanks!

Any possibility that that error message could be made more informative?
(i.e. ERROR:  regcomp failed due to empty string in regular expression)
