I don't know what regex_works is. It is not part of the PCRE
distribution.

There is no maximum stack size in PCRE. It is whatever the operating
system sets. Different OS have different ways of specifying the maximum.
PCRE does have some parameters for limiting the amount of stack it
actually uses. The "pcrestack" man page in the PCRE distribution
discusses this, and points to other information.
