Hello,
It's good that it is possible to prevent stack variables from being used in
recursions.
The problem is that the user needs to rebuild the library. Most people can't do
that. We use stock Debian and receive regular security updates. It's not
practical to basically fork PHP.
If the speed penalty is under 20% you might consider recommending the PHP guys
to use the heap instead of stack.
I understand this is not a bug in PCRE per se, neither in PHP. Take it is a
request for improvement.
Cheers.
