New Comment:
I've just been bitten by this bug too.
It manifests as "Connection Reset" error on the website, and this in the apache
logs: "[Sun Jun 30 20:58:07 2013] [notice] child pid 32544 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)"
I do understand that the segfault isn't a PHP bug, but it would be really
helpful if the error message could be more specific: something like "segfault
in PCRE at line X in file Y".
Aside: another test-case.
Here, it can be triggered by a value over about 5400:
$input='<span>'.str_repeat('X', 5500).'</span>';
$output = preg_replace("/<span>(((?!(<\/span>)).)*)<\/span>/", "BEGIN \\1 END"
,$input);
If I reduce pcre.recursion_limit converts the segfault into a PCRE failure...
but there is nothing that will make the RE actually work as intended. (in the
contrived example, we can of course just use str_replace).

Not a PHP bug but pcre recursion classic stack crash, see the numerous other
reports for more info.

This does cause a stack overflow, for some reason the default limits for
recursion are very high, maybe someone has an explanation of that.
You have:
"/'([^'])*'/"
Shouldn't that be:
"/'([^']*)'/"
?
