It looks like for longer matches the RE class + is getting problems when you have wildcards (like .*) in the regular expression + you are trying to match against. Especially in a case like Isabelle's example + where the ending pattern is included repeatedly. + I.g. if you have "a.*c" and match "abbcbbcbbcbbc" against it, the match() + method produces a stack overflow (not for strings this short, but starting for + sizes of about some k already). + + I also had a second version of this problem where the match() method just + crashes. The debugger steps in and never comes out again, but no exception is + thrown. This happened with Visual Cafe 4.0 on an NT4 workstation. \ No newline at end of file
