Bug description: Segmentation fault using regexp in php versions later than 4.3.3RC1
Description:
------------
php crashes when using the preg_match function. Code included below. Works
in php4.3.3RC1 but any later version causes segmentation fault.
The code is part of a text filter.
$output contains text with plain text and html mixed. The idea is anything
between [html] and [/html] will go untouched by the filter.
I use dozens of other regular expressions, but preg_match is a sure
killer. I can easily reproduce this behavior.
Reproduce code:
---------------
while (preg_match('/\[html]((.|\s)+?)\[\/html]/', $output, $htmlshow))
$output = str_replace($htmlshow[0], str_replace('<br />', '',
strtr($htmlshow[1],
array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES)))), $output);
Actual result:
--------------
child pid xxxxx exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
