Bram's change prevents the debugger from exercising the pathology reported.

My change here:

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/d80618d

prevents the regex engine from losing track of where its strings end
when there is a regex inside of a regex, thus guarding against the
memory errors observed.

Note that other aspects of regex state are not saved and restored and
a regex inside of a regex is still unsupported and is unlikely to
produce correct results.  perltodo.pod already mentions the desired
behavior of full reentrancy for the regex engine.
