I wrote a glob where I was meant to write a regex, and got a segmentation fault.

% git rev-parse HEAD                         
6523b5fe7f0cc52e690e66f3903163204c30f194
% make
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
% LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./xdotool search "*foo*"
Defaulting to search window name, class, and classname
Failed to compile regex (return code 13): '*foo*'
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./xdotool search "*foo*"

I see the same crash on xdotool version 3.20160805.1, which ships with my distribution.
