This issue is a side effect of importing latest version of PCRE within 
PHP and as you have rightly concluded seems to happen on Solaris 
versions < 10.  Please refer to php bug - 
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52436

You can either apply the patch specified in this bug report by doing 
some thing like

cd php-5.3.3
patch -p0 -d . < patch

or try the latest PHP Source snapshot from http://snaps.php.net

Hope this helps
