Indeed it does look the same, and what's more, you are getting a "match" at the
end, rather than the "no match" that occurred in your original report. One
thought has just occurred to me: test 8 is actually run twice, once with -s (to
force study) and once without. I assumed the failure was without, but perhaps
it was with. The first thing to do, therefore, is to run the -O1 test like
this:

./pcretest -dfa -s testfile

(i.e. with the addition of -s) to see if that makes any difference. If it does
not, I guess we need to proceed thus: Please check that, without debugging
turned on, running pcretest on that short file gives the same output as it does
within test 8, namely a partial match followed by a no match. And again, please
try with and without -s. If you get matches both times, please then check the
original complete test by running

./Runtest 8

If that fails when the single test doesn't it must be the case that running the
previous tests in the file leave something lying around that is affecting
things.
That is going to be really hard to track down, so I'm hoping it doesn't come to
this...
