Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-01 00:41:48] felipe@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. It's known PCRE problem, not a PHP issue. Check out other PCRE related reports. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-29 20:59:56] mccool at gmx dot ch Description: ------------ stack overflow in php5ts.dll Unhandled exception at 0x60b7b0b3 (php5ts.dll) in httpd.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow. module: php5ts.dll affected php versions: 5.3.8/5.3.9/5.3.10 (win32) src: ./ext/pcre/php_pcre.c:497 ./ext/pcre/pcre_exec.c:649 (position on stack overflow, random since this is a stack overflow) btw. yes i know i can set pcre.recursion_limit. this might fix the symptoms but not the problem. php crashes even with pcre.recursion_limit=650. for example other projects do not crash on maxed out recursions...
