The explanation is not complete. I will add a sentence that says
something like "The match() function is also called in other
circumstances, for example, whenever a parenthesized sub-pattern is
entered and in certain cases of repetition."


Why a parenthesized sub-pattern produces recursion?
Why each of a consequent parenthesized sub-patterns produces not consequent but a deep recursion match() calls?

PCRE version 8.11 2010-12-10
/(a)(b)(c)/
\Mabc
Minimum match() limit = 5
Minimum match() recursion limit = 4
 0: abc
 1: a
 2: b
 3: c

Thanx.
