I have a Cobalt Qube2 (64-Bit MIPS little-endian).
I have compiled PHP 4.0.4 and any release after that including 4.0.5RC2.

PHP 4.0.x is configured like this:

./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
--enable-versioning \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2000c \
--enable-ftp \
--with-mm=/usr/local/mm-1.1.3 \
--with-zlib

(every interation of PHP after 4.0.4 was compiled with the options seen above)

My GDB backtrace looks like this:

#0  0x2aff60f8 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x2aff60f8 in ?? ()
warning: Hit heuristic-fence-post without finding
warning: enclosing function for address 0x2aff602c

That's all I have found.

1. delete config.cache
2. add --enable-debug into your configure line
3. after configure 'make clean ; make ; make install'

Now you might get better backtrace of the problem.

Do you have PHP 3 installed into the apache?
If not, you don't need --enable-versioning argument.

Sniper,
Thanks for the quick response.  Here is the new debugged core dump:

#9  0x499dd4 in main ()

I believe there is a work-around for this.
See Bug #9827 by Matti Weissmueller.
He uses similar hardware.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I have made the changes to the crypt.c file on line 105, based on Matti Weissmueller's idea.
And PHP4 compiles cleanly and runs just as well seemingly.  Could someone advise on any potential issues, that this change could have ?

The fix is committed into CVS.

Hello, 
 
I thought I'd let everyone know that I encountered the 
same bug on a FreeBSD box that I'm testing on.  The box is 
an i386 running FreeBSD 4.5.  I have compiled Apache 
2.0.36, mod_perl 2.0, and php 4.2.1.  I built php as a DSO 
and ran the defacto <?phpinfo()?> test page and received 
the error.  I used the fix in 9827 changing the 10000.0 in 
line 109 of crypt.c to 1.0 and rebuilt php.  Everything is 
working fine now.  Just FYI.  Thanks, 
 
Dave
