I tried to use 'git grep -P' for the first time ever, and it hung
right away, spinning all CPUs at 100%.  I could narrow it down, both
the complexity of the pattern and the size of the input, see the test
below, and it bisects to this patch.

	# These all work as expected:

	git grep --threads=1 -P "\s" utf8 &&

	# This hangs (but it does work with basic and extended regexp):
	git grep --threads=1 -P "^\s" utf8
