I have certain problems with backslashes. Also at the end of the line. They 
dissapear save by save...

Like
C:\Windoze\Programs\
Ends up in 
C:WindozePrograms

You might say: quote them:
C:\\Windoze\\Programs\\
First save:
C:\Windoze\Programs\
Second save:
C:WindozePrograms

I'm using php4.2.2 and php4.2.1

How is this caused? By preg_replace and the version of pcre ?

I had those problems recently by myself but in my case bits of string like 
"\\1" disappeared without a trace... this does not happen here...

I worked around it by replacing bashslashes with a defined string and convert 
it back after i've finished replacing...
