That sounds like a genuine bug. Could you file a new bug report with a 
description how it segfaults (in what situation, etc..)
at http://bugs.php.net/ ? It's most likely a PCRE's problem..

If you are in such concern, you might be better off using iconv() function 
instead of mb_convert_encoding(), as the behaviour of iconv() is cleary 
defined in the Single Unix Specifications.
