Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

What you see is merely a pcre pattern wrapped with delimiter which is \xA7. To get 
browsers matching you'll need a browscap.ini which is downloadable by the links on 
the doc page.
