Description:
------------
The following code returns a wrong result with some strings, but when we reduce them, it swich back to expected behaviour.

Tested on PHP 4.3.10, 4.3.9, 5.0.2, and 5.0.3RC2
PCRE Library Version => 4.5 01-December-2003


Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_match("/((.*<.*>.*)*.(.*<.+>.+<.>.+)*b)?/",'<><'.str_repeat('a',14).'>'.str_repeat('a',33).'<a>'.str_repeat('a',92).'<a>'.str_repeat('a',8).'<a>a')

Expected result:
----------------
This code should return true

Actual result:
--------------
The code returns false.
Reduce one of the str_repeat, and it'll return true.

It works with 4.3.2

No, it doesn't return 'bool(true)' as preg_match() returns an integer. Try with something like 'var_dump(preg_match...' 
Also RTFM.

It's the PCRElib limitation again..
