OK. Bad example. The point is, that you'll get NO MATCH at all using webkit. If
the text on which the group should match is longer than 49991 chars.

Change the regex to:
/start(.*)end/i

Now you should get the whole XXXX as result of the group. But as with the
example above it won't match with webkit...
