New Comment:
Ok, tried it on osx. It doesn't crash with 1900 'a''s, but it crashes
with 2900.
Try this code on OSX with 5.2CVS, it crashes on my macbook. With latest
libmhash from macports as of today ( 0.9.9.9_0 ) :
$contents = 'sud' . str_repeat('a', 2900) . 'bccess';
$contents = preg_replace('/d(a)+b/', '', $contents);
echo $contents;

Just tried it: with the 5.3 snapshot it works.
Compiling 5.2 on OSX right now

The mhash library is gone in 5.3 and replaced with a wrapper around the
hash library.
Can you try a 5.3 snapshot and see if you get the issue?
I should say I can't reproduce this on 5.2 on OSX with the same
configure like Jani used.

By the way, the mhash lib version is 0.9.9.

I already described this in my original bug report, but I'll try to be
more explicit:
As I described before, if I tune pcre.recursion_limit and
pcre.backtrack_limit, than I get no segfault, but neither do I get the
correct output. As an example, this code:
$contents = 'sud' . str_repeat('a', 1900) . 'bccess';
$contents = preg_replace('/d(a)+b/', '', $contents);
echo $contents
Segfaults if recursion_limit/backtrack_limit is too high. Prints
"success" if everything went well, and prints nothing if
recursion_limit is too low.
I can only get it to print nothing tuning those two parameters. ( over
backtrack_limit 2458 it crashes, below 2457 it doesn't print anything
). So it's a workaround the segfault, but you get another problem -
you don't get the wanted result.
I suspect the problem could be in the mhash library, and the way php
uses it, because it prints 'success' if I disable the mhash extension.

You either have to increase the stack size or tune pcre.recursion_limit
and pcre.backtrack_limit properly.
