StackOverflowError at java.util.regex.Pattern$GroupHead.match(Pattern.java:4658)

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_66"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.66-b18, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
icrosoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
StackOverflowError occurs when invoking Matcher.find() with some data sets

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Test case requires:
- com.google.guava : guava : 18.0
- test data from here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twbs/bootstrap/86eac52cceb6b215bf14636f9d8db97c6987777d/less/scaffolding.less

Note: failing code line is taken from http://yui.github.io/yuicompressor/

    @Test
    public void testSomeMethod() throws IOException {
        URL url = Resources.getResource(this.getClass(), "scaffolding.css");
        String css = Resources.toString(url, Charsets.UTF_8);
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\"([^\\\\\"]|\\\\.|\\\\)*\")|(\'([^\\\\\']|\\\\.|\\\\)*\')");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(css);
        
        for( int i = 1; m.find(); i++ ) {
            System.out.print("Found match #" + i);
        }
    }


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
'm.find()' should return true/false without StackOverflowError
ACTUAL -
StackOverflowError occurs
