The issue is a segfault with a pattern like /\x{300000}/ui, e.g. pcregrep -ui '\x{300000}' < /dev/null There was no bounds checking on access to some UCD character tables, and insufficient bounds checking in \x character construction. The fix was included in a commit that did a lot of other things: http://vcs.pcre.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=774 but I have split out the relevant single-line fix for your convenience.
