New Comment:
Are you really using 5.3.9 with the built-in PCRE library?
Your test case works just fine here.
If it returns false, you can check preg_last_error() and adjust the INI
configuration accordingly. About crashing, it's known behavior from PCRE
library, take a look at the PCRE documentation for more information.

Description:
------------
I'm trying to validate email addresses via regular expression. My regular
expression fails if the first domain portion is longer than 18 characters.
Overall string length does not seem relevant. Decreasing the length of the user
portion or TLD does not make a 19+ character domain portion work.
Test script:
---------------
function is_email($str){
if(preg_match("/^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*(.[a-z]{2,4})$/i",
$str))
return True;
return False;
}
var_dump(is_email("u...@123456789012345678.com"));
var_dump(is_email("u...@1234567890123456789.com"));
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true);
bool(true);
Actual result:
--------------
bool(true);
bool(false);
