Description:
------------
Matching a string against a pattern that will have many subpattern matches causes a segmentation fault.

Reproduce code:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
$testPattern = <<< EOS
/([^"])+/
EOS;

$testString = '"';

for ( $count = 0; $count < 1030; $count++ )
   $testString .= '\x90';

for ( $count = 1030; $count < 4000; $count++ )
{
   $testString .= '\x90';

   echo "$count\n";

   preg_match ( $testPattern, $testString . '"', $matches );
}

exit ( 0 );
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Over 1000 matches:

[...]
1035
1036
1037
1038
1039
1040
1041
1042
1043
1044
1045

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault at either 1037 or 1038:

1030
1031
1032
1033
1034
1035
1036
1037
1038
Segmentation fault

Note that this seems to vary where it fails; either after 1037 matches or 1038 matches.
