This is a fantastic postmortem. Thanks jgc!

Can you share any more details about the protection to prevent excessive cpu usage by a regular expression that was accidentally removed?

Also interested in this protection. How does it detect this situation and what does it do when something is detected? Did you notice when it was accidentally removed that your monitoring of this condition went to zeros (or was it never happening during normal operations)?
