I tried rewriting it like that, and I have to say I do like it better
that way.  I think it's clearer, which seems well worth one extra
malloc.

Also, I poked a little more at the question of the heuristic limit
on number of states, by checking the actual numbers of states in
various ways of writing matchall regexes.  It looks to me like
we can cut the limit to DUPINF*2 and still have lots of daylight,
because reasonable (and even not so reasonable) ways to write a
pattern that can match up to K characters seem to come out with
not much more than K states.

Hence, PFA v2.  I also added a couple of test cases based on
looking at code coverage in this area, as well as a case that
takes an unreasonably long time without this fix.
