This is not going to work. The "regex_pool" here is just a
pointer to a pool somewhere in process memory. And each process
has it's own pool, if at all. It likely seems to work (i.e.,
don't cause immediate segfault) because you create the pool in the
master process, hence all processes has copies of the pool. But
it doesn't make the data allocated from such pools shared.
