Description mark burdett 2007-02-26 01:50:05 UTC 
preg_match_all() with a particular regexp causes a run-away Apache/PHP
process which consumes all available CPU.  This is on amd64
architecture; FreeBSD 6.2; PCRE 7.0 and PHP 5.2.1 installed through ports.

Also posted here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40630

How-To-Repeat: Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php 
$regexp = '%(?:^|,\ *)("(?>[^"]*)(?>""[^"]* )*"|(?: [^",]*))%x'; 
preg_match_all($regexp, $string, $matches); 

Expected result:
----------------
It should compile and execute.

Actual result:
--------------
Process consumes all available CPU until killed.

This seems to be fixed in the latest PHP 5.2 snapshot.  I can only
reproduce on amd64.
