I noticed this page has been down for a while - http://tasvideos.org/players.cgi Any chance this will be fixed soon?

I'd say something's crashing so you should probably avoid clicking it until Bisqwit checks it out.

It's a mystery I haven't been able to resolve yet... When the page is attempted to be loaded, the connection just simply terminates and no trace will appear in the logs... It has happened with some other pages too - notably the WhyAndHow page where a certain edit from Warp is still unadded for this reason.

Is it possible that the apache-process handling the page exits with a SIGSEGV or such? I assume you have checked the error_log? Philip

Well, that's exactly what happens... This is from error log. But it isn't really helpful. [Sat Jan 22 14:43:11 2005] [notice] child pid 21557 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Ok, thanks to pilif, the problem is now fixed. It seems that PCRE implements look-ahead/look-behind assertions in greedy matches using depth-first recursion, and input long enough will simply cause a stack overflow. Fortunately, switching to ungreedy matching helped in this case.
