Bug#294675: Warning: preg_match: internal pcre_fullinfo() error -3

["Edward J. Shornock" <ed@crazeecanuck.homelinux.net>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.53-3
Followup-For: Bug #294675

Upgrade to 2.0.53-3 broke many PHP4 enabled sites.

  Warning: preg_match: internal pcre_fullinfo() error -3 in /var/www/phpbb/includes/sessions.php on line 227

  Warning: preg_match: internal pcre_fullinfo() error -3 in /var/www/phpbb/includes/sessions.php on line 51

Sites that use Pear to connect to the database simply give the message:
  DB Error: connect failed

Reverting back to 2.0.52-3 solved it in my case.
