C program to repeat the bug

In the RE "^[$](S|{SHELL}|k|K)$"  the curly braced are not
range specifiers.  Other versions of regcomp accept this RE
with no errors (egrep, *BSD's implmentation and others), but
the later glibc complains:

regcomp: ^[$](S|{SHELL}|k|K)$: Invalid preceding regular expression

(I include a test program for it.)
