also php was configured in this manner: 

./configure  --disable-xml --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-midgard=/usr/local --with-imap  --enable-debug

appears to be a memory leakage problem

This looks like a bug in midgard, can you please file them
a bugreport too, and report back if you got answer from them?

(You get better backtraces with a static module BTW, please try that too)

Derick

here is the back trace from static compile:
sending to the midgard group.

This is the PHP bug database. Just report it to Midgard
folks since it clearly is a crash in their extension.
