Please try with 5.3.4RC1.

It also looks like a mysql bug, not pcre. If the crash still occurs using 5.3.4RC1, please try using Mysqlnd instead of libmysql. (see configure --help for the options).

I saw same segfault in PHP 5.2.14, so I update PHP to version 5.3.3-r1.
PHP 5.3.4 not exists in Gentoo portage repositary.

Try with mysqlnd then. You can compile PHP in your home to try your script. That won't affect your system install.

And we still need a way to actually reproduce this crash, like a small script.

And please don't use distribution packages but build our sources. Gentoo and others apply patches we don't know and have no control over.

I tried PHP 5.3.3 with enables mysqlnd and I disable all mysql connections... Not works: again segfault.
I tried PHP 5.3.4RC1: and again segfault. Report: http://www.infoskidka.ru/common/php_debug_segfault_5.3.4RC1.txt

So, what about problem? It's really error in PCRE module? If it's problem in module, when it will be fixed? Do you need PHP scripts with code which makes segfault?

It is most likely one of the pcre stack segfault, increase it (via php.ini's pcre.backtrack_limit setting) may fix this problem.

If it still crashes, we will need a short script to reproduce the problem, self containted too.
