Thanx for crash-fixing. I will try it.

The pattern that is workable in Perl (Perl sucsessfully matches
/(a)(?2){0,35000}?(b)/ for example) becames unworkable in PCRE. It's not
good news for me. But if compatibility CAN NOT be achieved than this may
be described in 'pcrecompat'.
But investigate please, is there a way to take away compatibility
immolation and make such patterns workable in PCRE.

May be LINK_SIZE influences. My PCRE build uses --with-link-size=3
