Ah, I thought you meant the count=500 case crashed. The higher numbers
is simply overflowing libpcre's stack and you haven't set a sane limit.
This is not a bug. This is a limitation of the pcre library and a
configuration issue on your part. Add this to your php.ini:
pcre.backtrack_limit = 10000
pcre.recursion_limit = 10000
And I bet your crash will go away.

On CentOS 5.4, PHP 5.3.1, Apache/2.2.3:
With "$count = 5947;" it works. With "$count = 5948;" or higher it
silently crashes. Apache error log: "[Thu Jan 21 01:02:15 2010] [notice]
child pid 18136 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)"
rasmus at php at net, try giving it larger values.
