[Regexp] Possible bug in regexp

[Peter Hanusiak]

Hi,

I probably find a bug in regexp. It eats all memory from system.
If it's not bug, please explain me what I am doing wrong.
It show me:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
        <<no stack trace available>>

I'm using latest regexp with Sun's java version "1.3.1_01"
I am sending you my example code.

Thanks
Peter

example code:
package parser;
import gnu.regexp.*;

public class SQLSemicolonParser {
  private SQLSemicolonParser() { }

        public static void main(String[] argv) {
                try {
                        String[] test = parse("DDweweddddddddddfff;");
                for (int i = 0; i<test.length ; i++)
                        System.out.println(test[i]);                    
                }
                catch ( Exception e) {
                }

        }


        public static String[] parse(String text) throws REException {

    // Construct the regular expression

    RE expression = new 
RE("([^\\\"\\'\\;]+|\\\"[^\\\"]*\\\"|\\'[^\\']*\\')*\\;?");

    REMatch[] matches = expression.getAllMatches(text);
                String[] result = new String[matches.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < matches.length; i++)
                        result[i] = matches[i].toString();
                return result;

  }
}
