New Comment:
I've uploaded a patch that will disable using the stack for recursion when
building PCRE with the included library source. I've found that this
completely
eliminates segfaults when using PCRE functions on long strings.

A stack overflow shouldnt cause a segfault.

no bug here. just a stack overflow, which is avoidable by tweaking the new ini
options and/or increasing the stack size.

Yes, endless recursion most likely results in a segfault and this is expected.

This seems to be stack overflow related in general:
<?php
class Foo {
function do_something() {
global $x,$i;
$i++;
echo $i."\n";
$x->do_something();
}
}
$i=0;
$x = new Foo();
$x ->do_something();
?>
Endless recursion results in stack overflow which throws a segmentation fault.
Probably libc os related.

seems to work with ulimit is there any other solution beside recompiling it
using the named flag? i mean running out of stack may happen on any system
regardless of its default ulimits.
