There have been a few threads on this topic related to the input string size. I rewrote the matchNodes method to use a simulated stack instead of relying on recursion. I wanted to know if this would be considered to enter the code base, and who to contact and the process. The only drawback is that its' slower, but I'm working on a few things to improve that. The code is somewhat identical to the current code, and I'm not sure if the contributors would want to maintain two somewhat identical functions, and fork on the root matchNodes call based on say an RE option for speed vs. size. Also, has anyone done comparisons to Sun's RegExp classes for speed as well as any size limitations. I'm doing some testing now and they fail also with "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space". Anyway, let me know if there is interest or not in incorporating this.
