Summary:                    pcre should be linked without stack recursion
Description: 
For example websvn uses php5 pcre for analysis and markup which requires
massive stackspace to
be configure in /opt/csw/apache2/etc/envvars like
  ulimit -s 1000000
Otherwise the https process crashes with stack overflow:

The solution is to dynamically link against correctly compiled pcre or
statically link against updated pcre.
