Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2010-11-18 10:41:58 UTC 
Creating as tracking bug against r76938 reversion of r76928
Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2010-11-18 10:43:32 UTC 
Cheers guys for posting the bug upstream
Comment 2 Aaron Schulz 2010-11-24 03:55:53 UTC 
Fixed upstream: http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1035
Comment 3 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-03-04 11:04:15 UTC 
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 :-)
Comment 4 Tim Starling 2013-02-04 02:03:04 UTC 
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.
Comment 5 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2013-02-06 10:29:15 UTC 
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
