I'm guessing, but I suspect the pattern is just too big. If you run it under pcretest with the -i option you get: Capturing subpattern count = 0 Options: anchored caseless extended multiline dotall No first char Need char = 'a' (caseless) Subject length lower bound = 8428 No starting char list JIT study was not successful If you make it a lot shorter, JIT does compile it.
