Re: stack overflow with regular expressions

I tried compiling the pregexp library and also increased the stack size to 
64000.  This helped a little bit, but i'm still having problems with 
expressions matching certain character classes.

The knowledgebase mentions setting debugging off by  evaluating 
(hcl:toggle-source-debugging nil) and
setting the debug optimization level to 0.  I did the former, how do you do 
the later?

If this doesn't help, I will try one of the native lisp regexp libraries 
that someone mentioned.
