Perhaps we should just reject this case. No sane body would ever use it.
I'd have to say that dismissing before even trying is not a very
disciplined attitude.

Shouldn't an empty regexp simply match everything?  Even on FBSD8,

   $ grep '' /etc/passwd

seems to show everything.  How hard would it be to do this in the codepath
we are discussing?
To make '' match everything is easy. I'll cook up something when I get home.
