Most of the code stolen from[1] to easy on comparison and including
the deficiency of setting the global context even for patterns that
won't need it.

Ideally, the call from grep_init could be moved to a place where it
could be set without needing a lock and at least with this approach
we have a place to clear it (which is obviously missing more callers,
but at least shows how it will look for the grep subcommand)

I had also dropped most other users of the global context in a failed
attempt to make the change smaller, but also to keep the current
behaviour so that we could see the effect of enabling NED for PCRE2
more clearly.

Sadly, that will likely require a Windows box, as NED (at least our
version) is horribly broken in macOS (maybe it wasn't 64 bit clean)
and in Linux builds, but I can't reproduce your crasher and it is
most likely slower than the system malloc.

Actually not so much suggested by me, as your patch still causes
crashes (mine didn't):

Ciao,

the "equivalent" version in v4[1], that is still not on pu shouldn't,
if my hunch is correct

it also shouldn't crash if the test wouldn't be doing LC_ALL="C" but
we have yet a couple of extra bugs related to that, including one[2] I
CC you on which would be nice to get validated as well.
