Just to be sure, could you confirm the problem goes away if you change
line 292 of pattern.c

/* Default size for pattern buffer */
#define P_DEF_ALLOC 256

to

/* Default size for pattern buffer */
#define P_DEF_ALLOC 512

?  That's not a fix, it's just putting off the problem, but if it's
initially allocating something larger than what your pattern needs I'd
expect the crash not to happen.
