I don't know inside of PCRE, and the used API (I just fond a
"bug" on of my project), so I think I have to see, what does it
mean the ovector. The application can use longest pattern, than
this... so I guess the 40 isn't the solution for "all cases".
Is there any best practice to calculate the size? What other
consequence is there, when I increase that size? Eg. more memory
using, slower runtime...?

The "for some reason" is a little bit disquieting :), you mean
that this result is not deterministic?
