[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm getting frequent "Stack overflow in regexp matcher" errors when
visiting files under git version control with uncommitted changes.  This
started to happen rather recently.

This is an excerpt from the backtrace with the second line truncated
since it is *very* long.  Full backtrace is attached at the end of this
mail.
