Pattern too long for this browser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

 I attached a JS file which reproduces the problem.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

 Error: Pattern too long for this browser. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 javascript running on Rhino, java 1.5

Please provide any additional information below.
 the patch causing that problem is created by patch_fromText() and a
subsequent reverting of the patch (changing DELETES into INSERTS - that's
why the first status field says "-0").

Works for me.  Attached is an HTML file which executes your code and prints the 
result.  No error is thrown in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and even IE.  
Sounds 
like a bug in Rhino?  I'm afraid I don't have a copy of Rhino installed to test 
right 
now.

The first thing I'd try is remove the umlauted characters from the input string 
and 
see if that's what's causing issues.

Are you able to run the unit tests in Rhino?  If so, that should at least tell 
you 
which function is kaput.

the bug doesn't appear with trunk HEAD. sorry, should have checked that first.

FWIW all unit tests pass in rhino (

No problem.

In that case it's a bug which was reported and fixed in December of last year.
