Basically, the STREAM profile will buffer data for partial matches; if more than "max_matchsize" would be buffered, the connection will be torn down. This way a regex like "foobarba[^z]+" won't keep matching until the box runs out of memory. The default is 4K, and STREAM::max_matchsize can be use to set it to something else.
