If the text for preg_match_all is bigger than some value, many regexp constructions causes php to terminate.

This code crashes php (on win32 only):

<?
$thi = str_repeat("aaaaaaa   a aa aa aa\n", 1000);
preg_match_all("/(.|\n)*/",$thi,$vars);
?>

Not really a PHP bug; bug is in the PCRE library itself
and is because you are asking it to capture a very large
number of individual character matches.
Increasing your stack size might help (ulimit).
