Heh heh.  Never mind.... after uninstalling both versions of 
Gambas and reinstalling just 1.9.1, this problem disappeared.  I 
still have added a check for MISSING(coptions) and 
MISSING(eoptions) to my local copy of the source, but it seems 
the segv was just a 1.0.1 problem which for some reason was also 
affecting 1.9.1.  I also updated my proof of concept example 
project, but I hope to make a regex builder sort of example like 
kmail has (since most people have no idea what regular 
expressions are even useful for. :) )

The weird thing is, after I fixed it in 1.0.1, it also started 
working correctly if I ran the same project with gbx2.  I wonder 
if there's still some references to "gbx" in the IDE...
