Bug description:filter_var limited to 8192 characters in input string

Description:
------------
I was testing some input being passed via a parameter to my script.  I
was getting an error indicating that the value passed was invalid, yet
it didn't contain any of the strings I was searching for.  
I went through the process of shortening the string and when I got below
8192 chars in length it worked, over 8192 chars in length it would
fail.

I also tried this on PHP v7.1.32 and the exact same code on my Mac OSX
which worked correctly.

Test script:
---------------
filter_var(trim($_REQUEST['parms']), FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP,
array("options" => array("regexp" => "/^((?!union select|union
all|\'A=|select char).)*$/im")));

Expected result:
----------------
A) filter_var should handle strings longer than 8192 chars

OR

B) Add documentation to filter_var manual entry indicating maximum
length of string.
