+    <para>Qt Regular Expressions are built on the pcre2 library.
+    pcre2 uses JITting which means that the errors cannot be suppressed
+    (no function name). However, Qt provides a mechanism to turn off
+    the use of JITting. To do so, use the following environment variable:
+    <computeroutput>export QT_ENABLE_REGEXP_JIT=0</computeroutput></para>
