ohh ok.

(*sotto voice* although it would be longer could you possibly avoid all but
  the most basic of regexs, i just... i can't read them!  or, i can, but it's
  5-10 minutes of looking at them)

btw watch out for "nop" which is "ori r0, r0, 0" of which there are 32,000
in the disasm of bash, and i believe they're data not instructions.

we learned over time that the discussions get really long, significantly
slowing down bugzilla and the VM running it.
