Comment (by duncanmc):

 I did some debugging by using preg_last_error() command. It gave error
 number 2 that is PREG_BACKTRACK_LIMIT_ERROR. It is controlled by
 pcre.backtrack_limit option of php. I was using the default value of
 100000. Increasing the number to 1000000 solved the problem. However,
 1000000 looks too high. Is it possible to change the preg_replace, so that
 default backtrack_limit is enough?
