bug#24914: 24.5; isearch-regexp: wrong error message

Do this in a large file:

1. C-M-s \(.\|^J\)+

That shows the error message: [error Stack overflow in regexp matcher].
OK, understandable.

2. C-M-s \(.\|^J\)\{,4000\}, where ^J is really a newline char, typed by
using `C-q C-j'.

No problem with that search.

3. C-M-s \(.\|^J\)\{,40000\}

That shows the error message: [incomplete input], which is wrong, IMO.
