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.
