Comment(by miqrogroove):

 The primary change made by this patch is to remove the following code,
 which until now has served only to heat up server CPUs across the planet:

 {{{
 (?:(\/))?
 }}}

 It is replaced by the equivalent non-recursive form:

 {{{
 \\/?
 }}}

 This patch also fixes a related bug wherein wpautop() backreferences the
 wrong preg match when looking for shortcode close tags like /caption.
