Thanks. At least that means it's not a local problem. So perhaps it's
an issue with pcre's build with VS 2010.

Googling around, I didn't find much related to pcre and VS 2010.

These MSDN pages suggest the default stack size (with VS 2012, I
suppose it's the same for 2010) is 1 MB:

So I suppose this problem is expected with Visual Studio and pcre. But
I'd expect it to be the same for 2012 then ...
