Description:
------------
preg_match() crashes PHP & Apache with stack overflow exception on Windows 7.

I'm not able to reproduce it with plain PHP code. It crashes using Drupal 7 under some circumstances.

Regular expression is preg_match("/^(?:[\w#!:\.\?\+=&@$'~*,;\/\(\)\[\]\-]|%[0-9a-f]{2})+$/i", $url) 

More details to follow.

Actual result:

preg_match("/^(?:[\w#!:\.\?\+=&@$'~*,;\/\(\)\[\]\-]|%[0-9a-f]{2})+$/i", $url);

It works from PHP CLI, but crashes Apache via Browser. PHP connected as a Apache module. 

Apache 2.2.17 and 2.4.10 affected.

Hard to say whether it's Apache or PHP issue.
