bug#19567: "segmentation fault" for long patterns ...

[Roméo Capulet]

hi

I got a segmentation fault when I try to match a very long pattern on a 
file:
$ grep -Po 'jQuery\.extend\(Drupal\.settings,[ 
\t]*\{((?!\}\}\)).)+\}\}\);' /tmp/pattern-exemple.txt
Erreur de segmentation


the grep version : grep (GNU grep) 2.16


the gdb backtrace:
