The problem is that I'm using PCRE as the engine for my IDE. Users will type
in all kinds of crazy. For an invalid expression, they get an error message,
but for a valid expression, the IDE must not crash. Reporting no matches is
better than blowing up, so I'll keep experimenting with the recursion limit. I
understand that the library can't do this, so I'm closing as wontfix.
