The regexp in question is when attempting to match all the temp list that is:

\s any space
\w any alphabetic letter.
I guess that \w+\s? is boing to prevent prevent backtracking too often but I am
not sure.
The problem is when you're _not_ at temporaries. Then you have an
exponential number of ways to try because any non-empty suffix of \w+ is
also a prefix of \w+.
Something like "&abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz|" should trigger it.
