problem with PCRE matching, utf-8, Greek, rewrite

[mat h]

When attempting to use *UTF8 I always receive.
[emerg]: pcre_compile() failed: (*VERB) not recognized in
"(*UTF8)^/([^/^.]+)(?:/?)(?:index([0-9]*)\.html?)?$" at
"8)^/([^/^.]+)(?:/?)(?:index([0-9]*)\.html?)?$" in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nexusddl.com:85

Yet my PCRE has UTF-8 support, tested it in PHP (both nginx and php
compiled against PCRElib included in debian)
