No, I haven't run into that. Was that with the 'old' GNU regex
implementation (before ~ 2002) or with the current one ?
Yes, looking at glibc it seems the 2^16 limit has been removed. There
is still an error for it:
regex.h: REG_ESIZE, /* Compiled pattern bigger than 2^16 bytes. */
but nothing in the code appears to generate this error.
