Old Summary: preg_match('/(.|\n)*/',$a,$b) crashes

Sorry, here's a script that crashes.  If you change "$i<127" to
"$i<126" it no longer crashes.  I hope this is useful!

As a postscript, I tried upgrading to 4.1.1, and couldn't find any
configuration that worked with Apache 1.3.20 or 1.3.22.  Also, the web
server that hosts us still uses 4.0.6

<?php
$read = '&test(blah){';
for($i=0;$i<127;$i++)
{
        $read .= md5('hoogie');
}

preg_match("/(&test\([^\)]+\)[\n\r\t]*\{)((?:.|\n|\r|\t)*)/",$read,$test);
var_dump($test);
?>

I think this is a limit of the preg functions, it would really help if
you could supply a script that reproduces it, and stands on it's own.

Do you have any idea of the size of $a?  1MB? 10MB? 100MB? 1GB? 1TB???
:)
Does it help if you leave out the third argument (currently $b)?
Also, can you try 4.1.1?

if the size of $a is very large, php crashes.  I replaced (.|\n)* with
the better [\w\W]* and it stopped crashing.  I'm not positive what the
size limit is, the script that produced the crash is quite large and
complex.

print_r(get_loaded_extensions()) produces
Array ( [0] => standard [1] => bcmath [2] => Calendar [3] => com [4] =>
variant [5] => ftp [6] => mysql [7] => odbc [8] => pcre [9] => session
[10] => xml [11] => wddx [12] => gd [13] => pdf [14] => pgsql [15] =>
zlib [16] => Zend Optimizer [17] => apache )

I'm using Apache 1.3.20
