Out of interest, do you ever hit the 16 bit limit in the size of compiled regexps? The "bytecode" used to represent compiled GNU regexps has (or perhaps had) a 16 bit limit in the jump offsets, which I hit a few years back. Had to switch to using a flex-compiled pattern matcher in the end.
No, I haven't run into that. Was that with the 'old' GNU regex implementation (before ~ 2002) or with the current one ? David
