Thanks Jeff, this is exactly what I am talking about! I see that there are some patches out that purport to fix this. Does anybody know if those work and if they are ever going to get merged since pcre is defunct?
I saw references to some pcre backports on a httpd mailing list last week (I think dev, but I wouldn’t swear to it). I’m not sure if those were related or not.

(at the time I found many reporting this online, and a long list of "workarounds", not easy to implement, so for my distribution I chose to remain at PCRE 8.45, for now, unfortunately) Thanks, -jeff -- Jeff McKenna GatewayGeo: Developers of MS4W, MapServer Consulting and Training co-founder of FOSS4G https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgatewaygeo.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cdwhitfield%40perforce.com%7C811b1090dc9e4d504a4408d9eff605f4%7C95b666d19a7549ab95a38969fbcdc08c%7C0%7C0%7C637804662810336546%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=oK59ByLjBZ%2BNDQbZgoNQY3d07HgvEtS7CgwPAzkePvQ%3D&reserved=0 On 2022-02-14 3:57 p.m., Doug Whitfield wrote: > Hi folks, > > Apologies is this is better suited for the user mailing list, but I’m > digging into the source do thought this might be best.
