I'm doing a "if(ereg('<DEFMAIN>(.*)</DEFMAIN>',$DefContent,$RegOut))", where the text between the DEFMAIN  tags is around 106K in size.  It is not matching.  If I cut out a few lines of text (any lines) in the middle, it matches.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately, PHP 3 is no longer supported. Please download
the latest version of PHP 4 from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
