Hi Jason,

exact, the bump and patch was done because pcre removed a (long) deprecated function.
pcre-8.02 will full support the patch because the new api was in this version already
the default.

file pcre-8.02/pcreposix.c (around line 265)
--------------------------------------------
preg->re_nsub = pcre_info((const pcre *)preg->re_pcre, NULL, NULL);
return 0;
}


apache22/files/files/patch-server__util_pcre.c
----------------------------------------------
-preg->re_nsub = pcre_info((const pcre *)preg->re_pcre, NULL, NULL);
+pcre_fullinfo((const pcre *)preg->re_pcre, NULL,
+               PCRE_INFO_CAPTURECOUNT, &(preg->re_nsub));
