Bug description:  Nested [] in browscap.ini cause PHP to crash

An entry in browscap.ini similar to the following:
  [Mozilla/4.76 (Macintosh;US;PPC) Opera 4.?  [en]]
.. will cause Apache/PHP to fail to start (segmentation fault) due to the
nested [] symbols.

The following complete browscap.ini would be enough to reproduce this:

   [Opera 4.0]
   
   [Mozilla/4.76 (Macintosh;US;PPC) Opera 4.?  [en]]
   parent=Opera 4.0
   platform=MacPPC

Interestingly, without a correctly formed entry on the first line PHP
reports a warning instead.
