[cl-ppcre-devel] Weird :START Behaviour in CL-PPCRE:SCAN

Hi,

In a part of the program, I find out that the below CL-PPCRE:SCAN call
really slows down the whole operation:

  (cl-ppcre:scan
   "^\\[([^ ]{1,})+[ ]*(.{1,})?\\]"
   "foo [[Main]] [http://baz]''bold'''''''bar''''"
   :start 13)

When I remove the :START keyword and the beginning `^' regex
character, SCAN finishes the operation quite fast, as it should
be. What can be the problem in here? (A bug?) How can I fix this weird
behaviour?


Regards.
