Yep. That is what I was looking at this morning. It is probably too late in this release of our project to make this change.
Thanks for the help.

See regcomp.c; you'll have to recompile. The interesting constant is
DUPMAX (defined in regguts.h as per POSIX), but note that there's
arithmetic in repeat() with those values. I wouldn't recommend doing
any of this unless you have time to figure out whether the algorithms
are efficient for larger values though.
