This is the same issue as #466298 and #470676: the stack blows because the
regexp engine is recursive in the 5.8 series. From the 5.10.0 changelog:
[ 27598] By: davem on 2006/03/24 23:05:11
Log: make S_regmatch() iterative rather than recursive.
Goodbye stack-bustng regexes!
Branch: perl
! regexec.c
I'm merging the bugs, which will also mark this as closed with the version
currently in experimental. The fix should get in sid any day now.
Cheers,
