Bug description:Greedy match doesn't match more than 99997 characters

Description:
------------
Greedy match doesn't match more than 99997 characters. If you try to greedy
match 

more than 99997 characters it matches nothing.

Test script:
---------------
// 99997 string length

$contents = '';

for ($i = 0; $i < 99997; ++$i) {

        $contents .= "a";

}



preg_match('/^a*?$/', $contents, $match);

var_dump($match);



// 99998 string length

$contents = '';

for ($i = 0; $i < 99998; ++$i) {

        $contents .= "a";

}



preg_match('/^a*?$/', $contents, $match);

var_dump($match);

Expected result:
----------------
To match the whole $contents content in both cases.

Actual result:
--------------
The first case match the whole $contents content, but in the second one it
match 

nothing.
