AFAIK only be using a non-stack based evaluator (pcre_dfa_exec)... which is not compatible with the perl regular expressions, see the description at http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman3/pcre_dfa_exec.3.html Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-06 17:47:50] johnston dot joshua at gmail dot com I understand it is a known pcre behavior but does that mean it is ok to let pcre trigger a segmentation fault? Is there no possible way to handle this failure gracefully? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-06 17:40:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED] . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-06 17:40:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is known PCRE behavior. See: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman3/pcrestack.3.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-06 17:29:06] johnston dot joshua at gmail dot com In my case the parens were unnecessary so I removed them which stopped the Seg Fault. Is there a way to handle this error from inside php? If I set pcre.backtrack_limit to any other value will it always seg fault if it is too low? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-06 16:38:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Setting pcre.backtrack_limit = 10000 prevents the crash for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
