The current code path for PMIx_Resolve_peers and PMIx_Resolve_nodes executes a threadshift in the preg components themselves. This is done to ensure thread safety when called from the user level. However, it causes thread-stall when someone attempts to call the regex functions from _inside_ the PMIx code base should the call occur from within an event.
Accordingly, move the threadshift to the client-level functions and make the preg components just execute their algorithms. Create a new pnet/test component to verify that the prge code can be safely accessed - set that component to be selected only when the user directly specifies it. The new component will be used to validate various logical extensions during development, and can then be discarded.
