Well, I reinstalled my clisp/emacs/slime bundle switching to Lisp Cabinet and I was not able to replicate the problem, so everything's fine on that regard.
But I have another question: how do I enter Unicode chars in the rexexp? For example I need to replace "whatever" with “whatever”, I tried to replace
"([^"\r\n]*)"
with
\u201c\1\u201d
but it didn't work.
I know I could generate and concatenate Unicode chars with Lisp, e.g. (code-char #x201c), but it'd be cleaner to do it directly inside the regexp.
Thanks.

This is an issue of the "This should not happen" variety. Certainly, there is no such limit in CL-PPCRE. If you could provide us (i.e. the mailing list) with a self-contained test case that demonstrates the problem in a reproducible way, I'll look into it. Please also make sure to let us know which Lisp on which OS you are using and which version of CL-PPCRE.
Thanks, Edi.

Sorry if this is a trivial issue, I'm a common lisp newbie.
If I apply the following very simple command (replacing one or more consecutive CR chars with one LF char)
(cl-ppcre:regex-replace-all (concatenate 'string (string #\return) "+") mystring (string #\linefeed))
to my string of 455079 characters (loaded from a utf-8 file), some of the last #\return characters are not substituted (even if they should, since if a apply again the command to the resulting string they ARE subsituted). It looks like in the search there is a sort of length limit, or maybe some string length mistake connected to multi-byte characters representation ?
Cheers.
