Although the test isn't very good at it produces far too much output the problem is in preg_match() and did not exist in PHP 5.2.6.I believe that it was probably introduced when the PCRE library was upgraded to version 7.8. From the documentation for preg_match() the maximum length of a compiled pattern is 65539, preg_match() fails with pattern strings sizes somewhere between 29738 and 29310 characters, I'm not sure what the relationship is between the string length and the compiled pattern length.

Ignore my previous comment. It not a PCRE problem, it's that the test is producing too much output. The behaviour of PCRE hasn't changed, but the test has. I have no idea how it ever passed in this form.

Fixed by reducing the amount of test output slightly
