Subject: long strings crash the perl interpreter
The problem seems to occur when the strings pass a certain length. On my system the crash happens when either one of the strings is 2**20 chars long, or both of them are at least 2**11 chars long. I've created a pull request with a failing test here: https://github.com/ugexe/Text--Levenshtein--Damerau--XS/pull/1

I changed the branch and instead of only a crashing test, there's also a fix now. :)

Awesome. I discovered this recently and thought I was going to be stuck using another linked list. I'll merge when I get home from the holidays.

Long matching strings are now ok, but large non-matching strings still cause a crash. Working on code re-factoring to help alleviate this problem.
