[ I'm assuming that REGEX_MALLOC is being used, but the following
probably still applies even if it isn't. ]
The value of re_max_failures in src/regex.c is probably too small.
It's 2000; try bumping it up to 20000 (this will probably suck up a lot
of memory, though), and recompile.
[ However, if REGEX_MALLOC is not being used, you must also bump up your
process's maximum allowable stack size, if you bump up
re_max_failures. ]
