errors creating jquery objects on large strings in safari and chrome

Description

Webkit browsers have trouble creating jquery objects for html that exceeds some size limit. They don't have problems with larger strings, and other browsers (firefox, IE 6 & 7) don't have this problem at all.

The jQuery object is being created like this:

var s = [some long string of html];

var o = $(s);

I traced this bug, and it's up to webkit to fix their regex handling. It seems that webkit has an open bug and has problems parsing regular expressions with more than 25056.

And here is the ticket: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18327

Thanks, Calamari, for the research. Since this isn't a jQuery bug and probably doesn't need a workaround in the core, I'll close it.
