ID: 60419 Updated by: fel...@php.net Reported by: mikemc-phpbug at terabytemedia dot com Summary: PCRE segfault -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: PCRE related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Not a PHP bug. Check out other already PCRE related bugs or the PCRE documentation. I.e. it's a known behavior from PCRE lib.
