Simple test like this makes segmentation fault:
<?

  mkdir('1/fv',0777);

  echo('!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\n');

?>
This error occurs in both Apache DSO module and console version.
PHP configures as:
./configure  --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf --with-mysql=
/usr/local/mysql --with-gd=/usr/local --enable-trans-sid --enable-versioning --enable-inline-optimization --enabl
e-ftp --enable-dbase --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local

I can not reproduce this with PHP 4.3.0.
Please try latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/

I've just tried a 4.3.0 snapshot using the same test file as mav@alkar.net posted above.

Operating system is FreeBSD 4.5.

-----------------------------------------------------

php4-200205020000# ./php ~/test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.0-dev
Content-type: text/html

Just to further confuse the issue.  If I build the 4.3.0-DEV snaphost (php4-200205020000) with --enable-debug then it behaves normally.

Happens in 4.2.1RC1 as well.  When compiled with --enable-debug, works fine.  When compiled with --disable-debug, it doesn't work

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/

fix was merged into 4.2 branch, so it should be included in 4.2.1. (we were passing a pointer to a mode_t, which is a short on freebsd, and it was being treated elsewhere as a pointer to a long. this is the fun sort of bug that usually only shows up on non-debug builds.)

Hi,

I've submitted a pr to the FreeBSD php port maintainer, including a patch.  

The patch can be downloaded from:

I have very similar thing happening. Script is reading directory with a lot of image files, printing them in colors. The script crash as both mod_php4 in apache and command-line. It crash every time at same position, however it crash in different positions when called thru apache and when run from command line. Relevant part of script:

$handle = opendir("/home/pav/images/fit"); 
while ($fajl = readdir($handle)) {
	if ($fajl == "." || $fajl == "..") continue;
	echo '<a href="wow.php3?showme='.$fajl.'" target="_blank" style="color: '; 
	if ($rates[$fajl]) echo calclinkcolor($ratingy[$fajl]); 
	else echo calclinkcolor(-1);
	echo '">'.$fajl."</a>\n";
}
closedir($handle);

backtrace
#0  0x2836aaed in readdir_r () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4
