Problem: Php will allocate a new pcre object for each different regular expression. Since the allocated memory is outside the zend memory system, php can eat up lots of memory, and potentially eventually exhausting the memory.
The patch I wrote introduces a new flag 'z', which enables the user to opt out of php caching the regular expression.
