Creating as tracking bug against r76938 reversion of r76928
Cheers guys for posting the bug upstream
Fixed upstream: http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1035
Since that is fixed upstream an Aaron did a workaround with r77067, maybe we can fix this bug report ? Tagging bugreport for platform eng since everyone there is part of that team :-)
If by "fixing the bug" you mean reverting the workaround so that MW will segfault if used with PCRE 8.0.1, then we might need to wait a bit longer, since there are still a lot of Linux servers using a distro from 2010. Once we do switch to the new regex, we will have to add an installer environment check for the old library version.
No no! I do not want us to break on old PHP setups. I am just saying our bug report can probably be closed since: - our code no more rely on nested named reference - upstream has fixed it. Of course, if we ever want to use nested named reference, we will hit this bug again. So maybe we are going to keep this bug around till everyone has the fix :-D
