Re: Are strings generally limited?

Well, yes, very small strings are allocated with block-alloc (less than 12 bytes or so, perhaps? I don't remember the exact cutof value)

I very much doubt that that is the problem, though.

Ouch. That lowered my esteem for PCRE quite a bit. It ought to be reported to them.

Yes, if it is a PCRE problem and not a Pike problem... But I can't see how it can be a Pike problem. Does Pike switch method somewhere depending on string length?
