Please test what? I said that the pcre author knows about the problem, can replicate it, and that it will someday be fixed, not that it *is* fixed. Anyway, I can't run a prerelease version of php -- all of my systems are in production, so it'll have to wait until php releases a new version that gets picked up by redhat/fedora.

Not sure if the original submitter ever emailed Philip, but after bumping my head against this problem yesterday, I contacted him myself. He is now able to reproduce the bug in the current version of pcre (6.7), and expects to have a fix sometime in september or october (the first chance he'll have to actually look at the code). I've created this new ticket because there will be a pending fix upstream. fyi, better code to reproduce: <?php $string = str_repeat('x', 11000); $pattern = '/(.(?!b))*/'; echo preg_match($pattern, $string); ?> And a workaround, since none was posted before: <?php $pattern = '/(.(?!b)){0,540}/'; ?> You can't go above 540 because preg_replace complains about the pattern being too large. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38401&edit=1
