8    1. For parenthesized subpatterns with repeats whose minimum was zero, the
9    computation of the store needed to hold the pattern was incorrect (too large).
10    If such patterns were nested a few deep, this could multiply and become a real
11    problem.
12    
13    2. Added /M option to pcretest to show the memory requirement of a specific
14    pattern. Made -m a synonym of -s (which does this globally) for compatibility.
15    
16    3. Subpatterns of the form (regex){n,m} (i.e. limited maximum) were being
17    compiled in such a way that the backtracking after subsequent failure was
18    pessimal. Something like (a){0,3} was compiled as (a)?(a)?(a)? instead of
19    ((a)((a)(a)?)?)? with disastrous performance if the maximum was of any size.
