Bug Description

When adding or editing a regex (in colour mode), multitail consistently core dumps.

1. Start multitail as follows: multitail worldpainter-access.log
2. Press e
3. Press a
4. Enter 2\.10\.13
5. Press c for colour usage
6. Press y to negate
7. Press q to close the regexes window

At this point the program consistently core dumps for me.

Even though it says it core dumps, I don't see a core file in the current directory.

If I press n to not negate, it does not core dump, so it seems to be related. This is while connected via PuTTY. TERM is set to xterm and LANG to en_US.UTF-8.
