The php_pcre_(free|malloc) use persistent allocation routines with the persistent flag set. Iif I am reading the code correctly, this is nothing more then a wrapper around malloc() free() without any sort of ZE memory management. If that is indeed the case, it would seem that Joe's solution would be better, since besides fixing the problem it eliminates pointless wrapper.
I was sure it was using emalloc/efree. Is there any good reason it isn't? Does PCRE require persistent memory?
If it does, then I agree with you that malloc/free is the right way to go.
