Actually this case can be boiled down to:
./perl -le'/(?{ s!!! })/'
which causes an infinite loop due to PL_curpm being set at the start
of the match, which the s!!! then sees as the "last successful match".
IMO it shouldn't as the outer match hasn't actually finished yet, but
because of when and how we set up PL_curpm at match start we have this
problem inside of (?{ }) constructs.
I think we can fix it by checking PL_curpm against PL_reg_curpm when
we do the empty pattern check; running tests now.
