> I turned it into an automatic variable.
...and used a variable-length array. That's a gcc extension, it is not
in ANSI C89. (It is in C99 though.) You seem to be compiling without
-pedantic:-) Anyway, here is a patch to turn it back into ch_malloc(),
plus some README fixes

Bug fixes:
- acl_regex_normalized_dn(pattern):
* used pattern->bv_len even though it claimed not to,
* would walk past the end of strings that ended (incorrectly)
with a single '\'.
- style=regex checked for "^.*$$" twice but not for "^.*$".
- the code did not notice if dnNormalize2() failed, and would
(at least in one case) treat a bad DN as '*'.
Some cleanup:
- changed regtest() to return void, since the return value was unused.
- changed acl_regex_normalized_dn() to take a string input argument
instead of a half-filled berval, it looks saner that way.

Here are fixes for more places where the argument to ctype.h functions
should be in the range of `unsigned char'.
Explanation of the last patch (to schema_init.c:bvcasechr()):
TOLOWER() and TOUPPER() return values in the range of `unsigned char',
but bvcasechr() then compares those values with a plain `char'. So I
convert the return values from TOLOWER()/TOUPPER() to `char' first.

maildap could address buf[-1] if len was < 2.
REWRITE_SUBMATCH_ESCAPE is '%', not '\'.
librewrite and saslautz could walk past the end of a string which
ended with an escape character.
