I'm getting confused...

It seems that's not only the length of the input string is important but also
how you write the group condition...

I provided an example page:
http://mad-d-sign.de/webkit/regex.html

You will see that Test1 and Test2 have slightly different group conditions.
While Test1 will return only the last "X" in the first (and only) group Test2
will return all the "X" in the first group. 

Both regex work on the 49997 characters long input string.

Test3 and Test4 again use the two different regex conditions but on a 49998
characters long input string.

Test3 does NOT match while Test4 does.

In non webkit browsers all 4 tests match.

I really hope now it's clear what I wanted to show.
