Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Could you supply a backtrace?
Also, could you try with a non-stable snapshot from the
last couple of days as the PCRE library was updated recently.

Tests of different lengths of string '$x' show that if
strlen($x) > 4040 the crash occurs i.e. with the last
text is 'Randomized-Controlled-Trial' php will crash. A
shorter script as requested is:
<?php
$x = '';
while (true) {
        $x .= '*';
        $len = strlen($x);
        preg_match('/(.|[\r\n])+/', $x, $match);
        echo "<br />$len\n";
}
?>

I can reproduce the crash on Linux too. But could you try
shortening the example script to something bit smaller?

By php version 4.3.1 I mean 4.2.1 of course ;-)

Crash also occurred with php version 4.3.1. Binary windows
version was used in both cases. Doe not occur for all
values of $x (probably only for very long strings ?).

AB BACKGROUND:   Osteolytic  bone  destruction  caused  by  increase 
of    osteolytic activity is a major manifestation of multiple myeloma
(MM)    .    Pamidronate  
(3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene)-1,1-bisphosphonate)    inhibits 
osteoclastic activity and reduces bone resorption. METHODS:    Since 
October  1995  the  efficacy of pamidronate is evaluated in MM   
patients  all  receiving  anti-myeloma chemotherapy acc. to VMCP/VBAP  
 alternating   regimen.   46  patients  with  stage  III  myeloma  and 
  osteolytic  lesions  were  randomized  to  receive either pamidronate
   (Aredia;  Novartis) 60 mg i.v. in 4-hour infusion monthly (n = 23)
or    chemotherapy  alone (control group n = 23). Estimation of
performance    status,  quality  of  life,  pain score, analgesic
consumption, serum    calcium  concentration and twenty four-hours
Calcium excretion, urine    Calcium/creatinine  ratio  is  done  at 
least  once  a month (before    pamidronate   administration)  while 
X-ray  skeletal  survey--before    treatment  and then every six
months. RESULTS: In the first months of    treatment  apparent 
reduction  of bone pain occurred. Hypercalcaemia    was  revealed  in 
6  patients at entry into the study. In 5 of these    patients 
pamidronate  restored  and  maintained normocalcaemia for a    median  
6   months.   In   3  patients  an  aggressive  plasma  cell   
proliferation  was  accompanied by reoccurrence of hypercalcaemia. At  
 skeletal  X-ray  examination  performed  after  6  and  12  cycles of 
  pamidronate  and  by  comparing  each  of  consecutive  imaging  with
   previous  one the progression of osteolysis was respectively found
in    67%  and  39% of patients. In the control group corresponding
figures    were:  79%  and  70%.  The mean number of skeletal events
(pathologic    fracture, radiation to bone and spinal cord compression)
per year was    lower in the pamidronate group (1.82) than in
control-patients (2.72)    ,  p  0.013.  The proportion of patients who
developed skeletal event    (excluding  vertebral  fractures)  was
lower in the pamidronate group    -34%  v 52%. Adverse events of
pamidronate: hypocalcaemia ( 2 mmol/l)    observed in 7 patients
occurred in particular patients beginning from    2  to  7  days after
drug administration. In 2 patients hypocalcaemia    that  appeared  in 
24  hours  after drug infusion was accompanied by    blood  pressure
decrease; in one case systolic blood pressure dropped    up  to 60
mmHg, in the other one--to 90 mmHg. Muscular pain and fever    up  to 
39  degrees  C  (transient  and self-limiting "influenza like   
syndrom") occurred in 5 patients, in two patients after several hours  
 and   in   three   other--after   some  dozens  of  hours  from  drug 
  administration.  In  one  case  hypertransaminasaemia  was  observed.
   CONCLUSIONS:  In  the  first  year  of  treatment monthly
intravenous    pamidronate  administration as an adjunct to
chemotherapy in patients    with  advanced  multiple  myeloma  with 
osteolysis  is  an efficient    approach    in   prevention   and  
treatment   of   hyperacalcaemia,    hypercalciuria and bone pain. It
also shows some preventive effect on    bone lesion occurrence. PT
