Inside genautomata.c there is a function gen_regexp_el(). It's  
allocating
a regexp_t by calling create_node(). However the code looks like:

   else if (strcmp (str, NOTHING_NAME) == 0)
     {
       regexp = create_node (sizeof (struct decl));
       regexp->mode = rm_nothing;
     }
   else
     {
       regexp = create_node (sizeof (struct decl));
       regexp->mode = rm_unit;
       REGEXP_UNIT (regexp)->name = str;
     }

This looks at last dubious.
