Hmm... here's an old problem that's returned (recursion on repeated group matches, I expect):
p=re.compile('(x)*') p <SRE_Pattern object at 0x8127048> p.match(500000*'x') Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Ouch. Andrew, would you mind adding a test case for that to the re test suite? It's important that this doesn't come back! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.pythonlabs.com/~guido/)
