Do you still have this crashed session in a debugger?  Because some of
the values involved in this crash are not clear or not shown.

The immediate reason is obviously the POSITION = -1 above, but the
question is: how did replace-match allow that to happen?  It's a large
function, so it's hard to tell how this could happen without seeing
some of the variables there.

Do you perhaps remember or know what text was replaced by what when
this happened?
