I had to move a piece of regexp/replace logic from PHP into pl/pgsql because PHP couldn't handle more than abt. 50 replacements in one text unit, instead it just dumped the text in the bit bucket. It was probably a memory allocation problem. On the other hand pl/pgsql has had no problem with the logic.
