I obviously _was_ too dumb to see that I should have used

  r = regexec(&regex,strRegex,1,pMatch,eFlags | REG_TRACE);
                       ^^^
strString here instead of strRegex. Embarassing.

Thanks to Dave Pearson who answered by mail and sent me a working
example source, without which I would not have found my bug.
