Description

I ended up needing to disable Miri tests in CI: https://github.com/BurntSushi/bstr/pull/161/commits/e679e293eb5b8fedafed889b9d300f3be7c52565

It looks like Miri gets stuck whenever it enters regex-automata code. I haven't been able to figure out why. regex-automata itself has Miri running on it in CI (hundreds of tests), so I don't know what's going on.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Set up the project locally, run the disabled Miri tests with verbose output, and trace the execution path that causes the hang. Compare with the regex automata repository's Miri setup to identify differences.
