i've added six more tests to PGE for nested matches, (based on a perl5
bug report i saw,) as parrot revision 9973, in t/p6rules/capture.t. it
seems that
  rx /((\w+)+)/
is failing on long strings, just like it does in the perl5 bug i saw
(#8685). however, parrot doesn't segfault like perl does, at least not
on my platform.

also, i expected a result matching
  <mob 0 0: <\w+ @ 0>
but instead recieved
  <mob 0 0 0: <\w+ @ 0>

i can't figure out why this might be correct, but this is why i write
the tests. help?

i'm not a regexp compiler.
