in thread Warning about playing with matches

I remember an upper limit for trie optimization, are you saying it was removed?
Interesting, I did not know that. It appears that when the initial regex opnode list is constructed, if it has more than 65535 nodes (so the BRANCH nodes have to use LONGJMP nodes to continue) then the trie optimisation doesn't kick in. This is indeed still the case.

Dave.
