I came across your tool, and while it appears interesting, the first thing I tried it with appears to have crashed it somehow.
I was trying to run a SpamAssassin rule against a message from the SpamAssassin public corpus. Both of these are publicly available from http://www.spamassassin.org but for completeness, I am also attaching them below in exactly the form I was using them.
Running the regex from 20_head_tests_cf_UNRESOLVED_TEMPLATE.txt with the /m modifier against the message headers in easy_ham_00001-head.txt and clicking on the "Tree" tab causes a lot of output to be printed on standard output (cf. third attachment) and the main window to disappear after a short while. The process is still alive, consuming around 90-95% of the CPU, though not producing a lot of load (load average still well below one). I finally killed it after allowing it to run for some 10 minutes wall clock time. Incidentally, ctrl-C causes a message "Quittingregex-coach/regex-coach : Interrupted - quitting" to be printed (on standard output, not standard error, sigh), but does not kill the process.
PS. Would you mind if your list was signed up for Gmane http://www.gmane.org/? If I go ahead and sign up the list, do you have an mbox archive handy which could be imported into Gmane?

Which version of Regex Coach on which OS are you using? FWIW, I can't reproduce your result with 0.6.7 on Windows XP.

It's OK with me but note that the list is already archived on common-lisp.net. See footer.
If I go ahead and sign up the list, do you have an mbox archive handy which could be imported into Gmane?
No, sorry.
Cheers, Edi.
