+Subject: [PATCH] fix missing integer overflow checks in regexec buffer size
+ computations
+
+most of the possible overflows were already ruled out in practice by
+regcomp having already succeeded performing larger allocations.
+however at least the num_states*num_tags multiplication can clearly
+overflow in practice. for safety, check them all, and use the proper
+type, size_t, rather than int.
+
+also improve comments, use calloc in place of malloc+memset, and
+remove bogus casts.
