Bug description: preg_replace failed to replace contiguous char
Description:
------------
When I try replace the dot by "_d_", preg_replace fails to replace all
dots separated by only 1 character. Only One substitution by 2 is working.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$texte = preg_replace("/(\w)\.(\w)/", "$1_d_$2", "a.b.c.d.e.f");
Expected result:
----------------
The result is a_d_b.c_d_d.e_d_f
Actual result:
--------------
The result should be a_d_b_d_c_d_d_d_e_d_f
On the other side, the replacement below works and gives the good result :
aa_d_bb_d_cc_d_dd_d_ee_d_ff
$texte = preg_replace("/(\w)\.(\w)/", "$1_d_$2", "aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff");
