Two new versions of regex-dna are available. One of them
performs both pattern matching and match-replace concurrently.

Both are fixed WRT stack limits, using the heap now.

I would be grateful if somebody who has access to a quad
core or single core machine could run these.  If you would
like to change the number of tasks look for the constant
Max_CPUs which is set to 4.

Multitasking version:

Just the fixed original:
