while working on server optimisations for one of our customers, I stumbled upon something funny (2.1.10).

At one point, a huge regex needs to be executed. When the input string has a length n < ??, and the regex doesn't match, the result is FALSE - no surprise here.

If I make the input string long enough to m > ?? > n, and the regex doesn't match, the result is TRUE.

There are some issues with regex matching in 2.1.10. 2.1.11 contains fixes. Alan DeKok.
