 .sp  
 When a parenthesized subpattern that can match an empty substring is repeated  
 with an unbounded upper limit, the subject position at the start of the group  
 must be remembered, so that a test for an empty string can be made when the end  
 of the group is reached. The repetition loop is automatically terminated when  
 an empty string is matched.  
 .P  
 Some workspace is required for remembering the starting position. For most  
 capturing subpatterns, an internal recursive call of the match() function is  
 used, and in this case, the workspace is taken from the runtime stack. However,  
 for non-capturing subpatterns, this is not available. Instead, some fixed  
 workspace (taken from the top-level stack) is used. If it runs out, the  
 PCRE_ERROR_NULLWSLIMIT error is given. The size of the fixed workspace allows  
 for up to 1000 repetitions of a non-capturing subpattern that might match an  
 empty string. If this limit is a problem for you, you can sometimes get round  
 it by changing a non-capturing subpattern into a capturing one, but that will  
 increase the amount of runtime stack that is used.
