Subject: [PATCH] Yet another duplicate name bugfix by overestimating the
memory needed (i.e. another hack - PCRE2 has this "properly" fixed).

14. And yet another buffer overflow bug involving duplicate named groups, this
time nested, with a nested back reference. Yet again, I have just allowed
for more memory, because anything more needs all the refactoring that has
been done for PCRE2. An example pattern that provoked this bug is:
/((?J)(?'R'(?'R'(?'R'(?'R'(?'R'(?|(\k'R'))))))))/ and the bug was
registered as CVE-2016-1283.
