Darwin has by default a small stack. Make sure it is at least 8MB
(eg, using ulimit in bash). If you know how to increase the stack
inside of XEmacs, a patch would be welcome (I don't know whether Vin
would apply it to 21.4 or not, but I expect anything that's reasonably
portable would be applied to 21.5). Also, there may be some
improvements in regexp stack handling for 21.4.12 or so.
Increasing stack isn't a guarantee. You can pretty much guarantee no
crashes in the regexp code by building XEmacs with -DREGEX_MALLOC=1
added to CFLAGS.
