-The basic problem is that code like this: C</(?{ s!!! })/> can trigger infinite
-recursion on the C stack (not the normal perl stack) when the last successful
-pattern in scope is itself. Since the C stack overflows this manifests as an
-untrappable error/segfault, which then kills perl.
-
-We avoid the segfault by simply forbidding the use of the empty pattern when it
-would resolve to the currently executing pattern.
