83      subroutine, it did not work as intended.      subroutine, it did not work as intended. [But see next item.]
84    
85    15. Consider the pattern /A (B(*THEN)C) | D/ where A, B, C, and D are complex
86        pattern fragments (but not containing any | characters). If A and B are
87        matched, but there is a failure in C so that it backtracks to (*THEN), PCRE
88        was behaving differently to Perl. PCRE backtracked into A, but Perl goes to
89        D. In other words, Perl considers parentheses that do not contain any |
90        characters to be part of a surrounding alternative, whereas PCRE was
91        treading (B(*THEN)C) the same as (B(*THEN)C|(*FAIL)) -- which Perl handles
92        differently. PCRE now behaves in the same way as Perl, except in the case
93        of subroutine/recursion calls such as (?1) which have in any case always
94        been different (but PCRE had them first :-).
95    
96    16. Related to 15 above: Perl does not treat the | in a conditional group as
97        creating alternatives. Such a group is treated in the same way as an
98        ordinary group without any | characters when processing (*THEN). PCRE has
99        been changed to match Perl's behaviour.
100    
101    17. If a user had set PCREGREP_COLO(U)R to something other than 1:31, the
102        RunGrepTest script failed.
103    
104    18. Change 22 for version 13 caused atomic groups to use more stack. This is
105        inevitable for groups that contain captures, but it can lead to a lot of
106        stack use in large patterns. The old behaviour has been restored for atomic
107        groups that do not contain any capturing parentheses.
108    
109    19. If the PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE option was set for pcre_compile(), it did not
110        suppress the check for a minimum subject length at run time. (If it was
111        given to pcre_exec() or pcre_dfa_exec() it did work.)
112    
113    20. Fixed an ASCII-dependent infelicity in pcretest that would have made it
114        fail to work when decoding hex characters in data strings in EBCDIC
115        environments.
116    
117    21. It appears that in at least one Mac OS environment, the isxdigit() function
118        is implemented as a macro that evaluates to its argument more than once,
119        contravening the C 90 Standard (I haven't checked a later standard). There
120        was an instance in pcretest which caused it to go wrong when processing
121        \x{...} escapes in subject strings. The has been rewritten to avoid using
122        things like p++ in the argument of isxdigit().
