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

\b is locale dependant and I suspect the locales on your Win32 and Linux servers differ, hence the different behaviour.
