Hello,
Would like to report the following:

Machine Type: ia64-hp-hpux11.31
Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 8
Release Status: release
Description:
When a regex matches inside [[ ]] it results in a malloc error.
Whereas if it doesn't you get expected behavior.
Take the code below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env bash
text="123 text!"
if [[ "$text" =~ "123" ]]; then
printf "'123' in '$text'\n"
else
printf "'123' not in '$text'\n"
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will receive:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
malloc: shmatch.c:115: assertion botched
free: start and end chunk sizes differ
Aborting...ABORT instruction (core dumped)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand the code below works as expected:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env bash
text="123 text!"
if [[ "$text" =~ "zzz" ]]; then
printf "'zzz' in '$text'\n"
else
printf "'zzz' not in '$text'\n"
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will receive:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'zzz' not in '123 text!'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat-By:
fails.sh:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
text="123 text!"
if [[ "$text" =~ "123" ]]; then
printf "'123' in '$text'\n"
else
printf "'123' not in '$text'\n"
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then execute: bash fails.sh

Let me know if you need anything else. Best wishes,
Gyorgy
