Bug description: preg_replace returns empty string
Description:
------------
When executing preg_replace on a string over 32,205 bytes and no double
line breaks with the following expression, the function neither matches nor
returns the original string. preg_last_error() doesn't indicate any preg
related errors.
Reproduce code:
---------------
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$original_string = "This is a preg_replace bug.\n";
$string = '';
$i = 0;
while($i < 1177) {
$string .= $original_string;
preg_replace('/\n?(.+?)(?:\n\s*\n|\z)/s', "foo", $string,-1,$count);
if($count == 0) {
echo "I broke at count: $i\n";
exit;
}
$i++;
}
echo "I didn't break at count: $i\n";
echo preg_last_error();
Expected result:
----------------
I didn't break at count: 1176.
Actual result:
--------------
I broke at count: 1176
