I've isolated the issue to a regular expression match! This line: $command = ( preg_match('#^(?:\:.*? )?(.*?) #', $buffer, $matches) ) ? $matches[1] : '';
causes the segfaulting. BUT WHY? Again this worked fine in php5.x . There is something broken with PCRE in this build. ---- Sent using Guerrillamail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com/abuse/?a=QlhzEgQOY7cMjxm9%2FjAcfRk%3D -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
