 * I am running WP 3.2.1 on an XAMPP localhost install. Before using a plugin that
   includes TimThumb, I decided to use this plugin to scan and make sure we are 
   ok. When I start the scan, I get the following error multiple times (have to 
   stop the browser, or it would go on forever):
 * Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: unknown property
   name after \P or \p at offset 35 in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\timthumb-
   vulnerability-scanner\class-cg-tvs-filescanner.php on line 46

 * I’m seeing the same issue on XAMPP locally running 3.31.
 * Interestingly, the scanner flags some of its own files as a vulnerability:
 *     ```
       Vulnerable 	0 	cg-tvs-filescanner.php 	C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/plugins/timthumb-vulnerability-scanner/cg-tvs-filescanner.php
       Vulnerable 	0 	class-cg-tvs-filescanner.php 	C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/plugins/timthumb-vulnerability-scanner/class-cg-tvs-filescanner.php
       ```
