I don't run PHP, so I can't test this directly. However, it looks like a
classic out-of-stack error (because of the very long subject string).
Have a read of the pcrestack man page. Have you tried increasing the
runtime stack for your application?

If you can send a literal string that is being matched, I can try it
with pcretest in a later release of PCRE (7.4 is current) and confirm
this diagnosis.

Regards,
Philip
