Description:
------------
There is a problem in preg_match() when JIT is enabled and when running through Apache2 with event MPM. This problem does not occur with command line invocation.

Here are the versions I tested, same environment:
7.1.9  works with PCRE JIT enabled
7.2.0alpha1   broken
7.2.0rc2  broken

Build command line:
./configure \
  --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
  --disable-cgi \
  --enable-intl \
  --with-layout=GNU \
  --enable-maintainer-zts \
  --with-gettext=static \
  --with-iconv \
  --with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
  --enable-exif \
  --with-openssl \
  --with-curl


Test script:
---------------
var_dump(preg_match('/^a/', "a"));
var_dump(preg_match('/a/', "a"));


Expected result:
----------------
int(1)
int(1)

Actual result:
--------------
int(0)
segmentation fault

Remi, just to be sure: did you test it with Apache2 with event MPM? According to the reporter it does not occur with the command line, only with the Apache2 with event MPM SAPI.
