Ok, I see, so my report is invalid, thanks for the explanation. 

I did some tests and find that php fails to link against pcre 8.30, I guess
that a lot of others will fail as well. With that in mind I tend to say that a
greater jump the version number for pcre might be at least worth considering.

Thanks and regards
Juergen
