Gilbert,

Good work, 5.0.8 has the native system regular expression package verses
the regular expression package that use to be included with the LDM.
Therefore you could be the only one seeing this problem, maybe not. Could
you send an example pqact entry the causes the signal 11?  Also you
mention the product name, can you send that also.  There are probably 2
solutions, 

- go back to LDM RE package
- fix the bug in pqact

I also wonder if this bug is only on Linux?
