Ah-ah. That's it. 21.4.14 defaults to REGEX_MALLOC to prevent regex
crashes, but the logic for determining the size of the failure stack
is obscure (and probably broken, cf 21.5) so you effectively get a
_smaller_ stack in many cases.
This patch is said to fix regex stack overflow. Please test, as I say
I don't understand the failure stack init logic, and so cannot offhand
recommend application for 21.4.15.
