I get the following error with smartctl:
Internal error: unable to compile regular expression

Please inform smartmontools developers at
smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net
There is in fact an invalid regular expression in the drive database module.
The bug in invisible on most other platforms supported by smartmontools,
because of a subtle difference in regex syntax of Cygwin and GNU regex(3).
See recent topic "unsupported disk drive?" on smartmontools support list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=12495
Despite the error the tool seems to work fine.
Thanks.
The error message can be safely ignored.
I will release a fixed package soon.
Thanks for the problem report.
Christian
