(also worth noting that many grok patterns have been improved since May 2012 to avoid these indefinite pattern match issues)

Very old ticket.
If issue still persists with current version please open a new ticket.

Can you include a sample input line that causes the hang? No worries if you can't.

A particular grok pattern I'm using to parse postgres logs causes the pure-ruby grok in 1.1.0beta2 to hang for a seemingly indefinite time.
This configuration readily reproduces the problem:
Logstash config
When executed, the grok pattern will load and no output will show.
