I'm having troubles using the SpamBlacklist extension with PHP 5.2; the error log shows "[error] PHP Warning: preg_match() [<a href='function.preg- match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: repeated subpattern is too long at offset 15711 in [blabla]/SpamBlacklist_body.php on line 210". I'm not a PHP programmer, but with The Power of Google[tm], it seems caused by a change in the PCRE of PHP. Lowering $regexMax from 20000 to 15694 solves the problem (15695 doesn't work).
Created attachment 2943 [details] Fixes $regexMax (just 1 line...)
In r19197 I've reduced the size to 4096. The actual PCRE internal limit seems to be hard to predict; I think it's a limit on _compiled_ size rather than _input_ size, so input with fancy matching may complicate things. Hopefully this'll do until we rework the whole rotten thing. :)
