Original description

Compile the code located at:
http://www.ladyada.net/make/eshield/LEDcolorpicker.pde using Arduino-0018

This compiles without error on Arduino-0010, but outputs the following in
Arduino-0018:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.StackOverflowError
at com.oroinc.text.regex.Perl5Matcher._pushState(Perl5Matcher.java)
at com.oroinc.text.regex.Perl5Matcher._match(Perl5Matcher.java)

with the last line repeating many times.

This occurs on Windows XP and possibly other OSes based on anecdotal reports.
