I suspect this may just be PCRE running out of stack. This is a
perennial problem, expecially on Windows systems. Please read the
"pcrestack" documentation page for more information. Also try
--disable-stack-for-recursion when building ... this makes it use the
heap instead, but it runs more slowly. See also the section "STACK SIZE
IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS" in the NON-UNIX-USE file.
