Passing array as subject to preg_replace has odd behaviour with limit

Hi everybody, I'm sure this has been mentioned hundreds of times before, but why is preg_replace apparently ignoreing my limit when I pass it an array of text to work on (with just one string each for pattern and replacement)? Is it only obeying per element of the subject? If so, is there a way to correct this unwanted behaviour, maybe through setting a constant or something?
