Description:
------------
I've recently installed PHP 8.1.0RC6 and Laravel 9 to test some new features. After requests resulted in a connection reset, I've submitted this bug on the Laravel repository:

https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/39716

Tracing the issue ended up to a regex, which crashed Apache when the pcre.jit was set to 1 in the ini file ( or commented out ).

I'm using the latest version of Apache ( 2.4.51 ).

Turning off the pcre.jit solves the issue. I'm not sure if this is a PHP issue, but I'm submitting a bug just in case.

Test script:
---------------
<?php 

var_dump(
	preg_match(
		'(([\\r\\n]{1,1000})|([^\\S\\r\\n]{1,1000})|(\\\\)|(\')|(")|(\\#)|(\\$)|(([^(\\s\\\\\'"\\#\\$)]|\\(|\\)){1,1000}))A',
		'Laravel',
		$matches
	)
);

I can't reproduce this with the bundled libpcre2[1].  Which
libpcre2 version do you use?

I'm using the same version, 10.37 2021-05-26. It's bundled into this release on windows.php.net:

https://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-8.1.0RC6-Win32-vs16-x64.zip

Would you please take a look at the issue on the github link that I posted? There was someone with a similar issue too.

Thanks for the swift reply!  I can confirm the crash when running
mod_php, but not on CLI.  I'll have a look.

This is a stack overflow due to too deep nesting[1], because of
the nature of that regex.  It is not related to a recent patch to
our bundled libpcre2[2].  Consider to report it upstream[3], but
I'm not sure whether that can be fixed (by falling back to non JIT
mode).

Thank you @cmb. I've posted an issue on their repository, alongside the links to this post and Laravel's. Here's a link for future reference:
