Description:
------------
Hi,

If you try to add a Korean character to a Regular Expression with setlocale and mb_encoding configured then it will cause PHP to not properly process the regular expression and will cause PHP to return the following error:

Warning: mb_ereg_search() [function.mb-ereg-search]: Empty regular expression

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://pastebin.ca/Cf42azGD

Password is moo

Expected result:
----------------
The Regular Expression should return the number 2.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mb_ereg_search() [function.mb-ereg-search]: Empty regular expression

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
