rxvt-unicode's matcher Perl extension has pathologically bad behavior on long lines
Every once in a while, I'll try and print some file with really long lines to my terminal. And in this case, rxvt-unicode goes out to lunch. Like, hangs, and I can't even C-c the process or close it with my window manager; only kill -9 works.
After looking around a bit, I found the culprit: the matcher extension, which does URL underlining. I'm not keen on disabling it since it's a very useful extension, but this hanging behavior's gotta go.
