I don't really want to keep going back and forth about this (a BZ ticket isn't
the right forum), but yes, as you point out, it's a perl binary problem (not
handling a stack overflow nicely).  The fact that a RE is able to tickle the
problem is irrelevant, the segfault is caused by a bug in the perl binary.

Anyway, so back to this issue...  Yes, if there are core rules which tickle the
same kind of problem, we can look at doing a work around to avoid it.  If it's
user entered or third-party rules, I don't think there's anything we can really 
do.
