I just started playing with regular expressions in RPG, using the
following sample from Scott Klement as a starting point:

http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200105/msg00106.html

In that code, the string to be searched and the regex pattern are each
defined to be 50 characters long. I tried making them bigger, and
once I got past 256, regexec couldn't find the match anymore, even
though regcomp apparently compiled the pattern successfully.

Is this a limitation in the C implementation of regexec? Is there a
way to search longer strings? We're on 7.1.
