Anatol, could you look into this?
 [2014-06-03 20:13 UTC] ab@php.net 
Thanks for reporting, Rainer. You're right, the only what matters for us is

http://vcs.pcre.org/viewvc/code/trunk/pcre_compile.c?r1=1415&r2=1414&pathrev=1415

as we still have JIT not enabled in PCRE. Gonna test this on windows/linux so you could check the solaris part after it's applied.

Cheers.

I think the bug is fixed in the upstream PCRE 8.35 release available since 8 weeks. So instead of applying a custom patch, another update might be better?

Maybe, but not that close to the 5.6 final. I'd take upgrade as the last measure at this moment.

Rainer, I've cleaned up so it contains only the part relevant to the alignment. Still have no solaris machine, so please test this 66679_clean.patch . For me it's fine on linux and windows.

Thanks.

Sorry for the long delay: I can confirm, that your patch is fine.
The patch needs to get applied to the 5.5 and 5.6 branches, it is neither yet part of the latest releases nor of head of 5.5/5.6.
Master is already on PCRE 8.35.
Thank you!

Rainer

Rainer, thanks for checking. Yeah, master has 8.35 now, lets see what we have there when it's branched (8.36 is there already). 

Thanks
