It's not clear what are you trying to report, but above regexps 
won't work as nginx only supports $1..$9 enumerated captures.  And 
most likely they'll cause segfault in 0.7.*.  Segfault should be 
fixed in 0.8.25+.

Use non-capturing groups (i.e. "(?:...)", see man pcresyntax for 
details) to avoid extra numbering (and save some trees) and/or use 
named captures as available in 0.8.*.

Or, even better, stop using this ugly rewrites and parse urls in 
php code.
