this script reproduces the problem, the problem doesn't occur if the input to the preg is under 16000 chars or so.

  for ($x=0;$x<5000;$x++){$result.="'test \'test\' test'";}
  preg_match_all ("/((\\'|[^'])+)/",$result,$output);

this is the gbd output

This is a limitation of the underlying PCRE library -- the string and pattern you use result in a deeply recursive call which exhausts the stack space. Use a little saner arrangement next time, i.e. check for string length and the type of pattern used.
