There will always be cases that "run away". Some optimizations are easier to
implement than others. This isn't a bug; it's really just a general wish
"improve the optimizations". Well, I do that in general from time to time, so
I'm closing this item. In this particular example, using possessive quantifiers
in the pattern makes it work.
