[Bug 1939964] [NEW] PCRE regex expressions do not work

[Shaggie]

Public bug reported:

A bug was discovered, reported, and corrected in the source code maintained on github.
When PCRE regex is used to gather groups, it does not work correctly.  If POSIX regex is used instead, it works as expected.

See https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/issues/1300 for full details.

The install package is "proftpd-core (1.3.7a+dfsg-12)" for the hirsute
release of Ubuntu. https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/proftpd-core

I hope I have provided all information needed for this and correctly :).
