>Description:
Regular expressions beginning with an asterisk (*) are processed incorrectly by programs depending on libc regexp handling when libc is compiled to use the TRE library for regular expressions.

>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install -current with libc regular expression code replaced by libtre, by adding the following line to /etc/mk.conf:

    USE_LIBTRE=yes

Then try:

    $ echo 'foo*bar' | sed -e 's/*/-/g'
    -f-o-o-*-b-a-r-

Note that the expected output would have been:

    foo-bar
